Set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine
#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King’s timeless novella “The Body”—originally published in his 1982 short story collection Different Seasons, and adapted into the 1986 film classic Stand by Me—now available for the first time as a stand-alone publication.
It’s 1960 in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine. Ray Brower, a boy from a nearby town, has disappeared, and twelve-year-old Gordie Lachance and his three friends set out on a quest to find his body along the railroad tracks. During the course of their journey, Gordie, Chris Chambers, Teddy Duchamp, and Vern Tessio come to terms with death and the harsh truths of growing up in a small factory town that doesn’t offer much in the way of a future.
A timeless exploration of the loneliness and isolation of young adulthood, Stephen King’s The Body is an iconic, unforgettable, coming-of-age story.

The Body eBook Stephen King Reviews
- Not written by Stephen King! This version has been retold by a hack college professor who is incapable of telling his own tales! Misleading, DO NOT BUY!! You can find the REAL version in Stephen Kings "Different Seasons" which has 4 novellas The Body, the Shawshank Redemption, Apt pupil and the Breathing Method.
- This story is a children's school reading version, retold by a different author!! So odd and misleading not to say this in the description. See photo.
- This was my third reading of "The Body", over the years since Mr King first published it. One of my favorite reads of all time. It is a novella, (I guess that is what it is called) which I understand means longer than a short story and shorter than a novel. I am quite certain it will not be the last time I read it. If I ever have a chance to see the movie "Stand by Me", the movie which was made based on it, I will also watch it again. Great story from one of America's greatest story tellers ever. . .right up there with Mark Twain and Edgar Allen Poe.
- Not what I expected.... definitely not worth the money. Misleading
- This is the novella that became a popular 1986 Rob Reiner film Stand By Me. It was written in 1982 and appeared in one of author Stephen King's short story collections. There are a few changes from the movie and a few scenes not showed. It's very evocative of growing up in the 1950s in America. It is not at all a horror story as is often connected with King.
- I just love Stephen King books. This one introduces you to a gang of misfits and you get to slowly know them as they search of another boys body in the woods. Hope I didn't spoil it for you but their adventure explores their past and present in the Stephen King way and you root for them throughout their trip. Excellent writing, you really care about them and hope for the best. I loved it.
- I love Stephen King but this one fell short. I've read the story before so paying for it again, under a new title is b.s.. The way it's advertised is misleading. I'd love to be able to get my money back.
- As usual... always fabulous entertainment... I smoke more since I quit biting my nails, and slug down more coffee to stay away until the last page, and it is ALWAYS ALWAYS... a sad moment when your book ends... Good Job Again!!!
