Morality is a novella by American writer Stephen King published in the July 2009 issue of Esquire.[1] It was then included as a bonus story in Blockade Billy, a novella published on May 25, 2010, and later collected and re-introduced in the November 3, 2015 anthology The Bazaar of Bad Dreams. In the latter publication, King revealed that the story was inspired by issues of moral philosophy in his own life, back when he was a struggling student and would occasionally shoplift or write other students' essays (an academic offence) to make ends meet. Morality received the 2009 Shirley Jackson Award for Best Novelette.[2]
