#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King’s timeless novella The Body — originally published in his 1982 collection Different Seasons and adapted into the 1986 film classic Stand by Me — now available as a standalone edition.

Four rambunctious young boys venture into the Maine woods in search of a boy from a nearby town who has disappeared. Gordie Lachance and his three friends set out on a quest to find the missing boy’s body along the railroad tracks. Set outside King’s iconic fictional town of Castle Rock — the setting of many of King’s most popular books including It and The Stand, and the 10-episode Hulu original series — The Body is an iconic coming-of-age story that explores the loneliness and isolation of young adulthood.
