Different Seasons (1982) is a collection of four Stephen King novellas with a more serious bent than the horror fiction for which King is famous:
Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption Apt Pupil The Body The Breathing Method
Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption--the most satisfying tale of unjust imprisonment and offbeat escape since The Count of Monte Cristo. Apt Pupil--a golden California schoolboy and an old man whose hideous past he uncovers enter into a fateful and chilling mutual parasitism. The Body--four rambunctious young boys venture into the Maine woods and in sunlight and thunder find life, death, and intimations of their own mortality. The Breathing Method--a tale told in a strange club about a woman determined to give birth no matter what.
