#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR • A treasure trove of bone-chilling tales from the “undisputed master of suspense and terror” (The Washington Post) who shaped American horror
Features the stories that inspired The Stand and over a dozen acclaimed horror movies and television series, including Children of the Corn, Lawnmower Man, Chapelwaite, and The Boogeyman
Stephen King’s first collection of short stories showcases the darkest depths of his brilliant imagination. Here we see mutated rats gone bad (“Graveyard Shift”); a cataclysmic virus that threatens humanity (“Night Surf,” the basis for The Stand); a possessed, evil lawnmower (“The Lawnmower Man”); unsettling children from the heartland (“Children of the Corn”); a smoker who will try anything to stop (“Quitters, Inc.”); a reclusive alcoholic who begins a gruesome transformation (“Gray Matter”); and many more shadows and visions that will haunt you long after the last page is turned.
