A "Hot off the Press" book at the Palm Springs library was "Sleep No More" by P.D. James. This is a collection of six short stories that were published individually. It seems she has written 12 over the years according to this article.

I expect the others weren't included because they aren't that good but who knows? I have read the first one and loved it. What a delight to get something new by P.D.
And it is a break from Annie Proulx's "Barkskins" which is quite a saga from 1693-2013 and runs 713 pages. I have read 568. I have been tempted to stop reading it then she gets me interested again. She is quite a story teller to be sure. I did love The Shipping News and never wanted to stop reading that.
