Stephen King

Jack Sawyer, a beloved and enduring King protagonist, returns in the final book in the Talisman Trilogy, the #1 New York Times bestselling collaboration between "master craftsmen" (The Washington Post) Stephen King and Peter Straub. "I wanted to go back to Mid-World, which was always the Territories by another name." --Stephen King This is Stephen King and Peter Straub's epic and unforgettable finale to the Talisman Trilogy (including the novels Talisman and Black House) and a wrapping up of the fate of the worlds in King's iconic, fiercely beloved Dark Tower epic. It is also a magnificent stand-alone novel, that will appeal to new readers, as well as to King's Constant Readers. Other Worlds Than These is the story of Jack Sawyer, whom readers first met when he was twelve, crossing America and "the territories" to save his mother's life, and met again in Black House, where Jack faces a child killer and the Crimson King (among other evils). In Other Worlds Than These, Jack must stop a rampaging gang of infected teenagers from America-side, and the forces of the mysterious Gullet at the edge of Mid-World, before it destroys our world and all worlds. Jack is older now; his Ka-tet (echoing the world of Roland) is fraying; and his task, nearly impossible. Magnificent, riveting, full of heart, and humor, Other Worlds Than These is a spectacular, propulsive adventure, and features thirty-six exclusive black-and-white illustrations by artist Gabriel Rodriguez. The title instantly announces to readers who already know these other worlds that King has returned to them. Other Worlds Than These will appeal to new King readers and his constant readers.

Talismaanin veret seisauttava jatko-osa Hyytävää rikosjännitystä ja kihelmöivän kiehtovaa fantasiaa yhdistelevä Pimeyden talo jatkaa Talismaanin tarinaa, kun menneisyyden arvoitukset kietoutuvat salaperäisiin tapahtumiin French Landingin kaupungissa. Kaksikymmentä vuotta sitten Jack Sawyer matkasi toiseen universumiin pelastaakseen äitinsä. Nyt hän on entinen etsivä, joka ei muista seikkailustaan mitään. Kun idyllisessä French Landingin kaupungissa sitten tapahtuu sarja petomaisia murhia, poliisipäällikkö Dale Gilbertson joutuu pyytämään avuksi Jackin, jonka poikkeukselliset kyvyt ovat hänelle tuttuja vuosien takaa. Mutta Gilbertson ei osaa aavistakaan, millaisia kykyjä juuri näiden rikosten ratkaiseminen vaatii. Pian Jack alkaakin nähdä ja kokea outoja. Lopulta hänen on astuttava Pimeyden taloon ja kohdattava pahat henget, jotka suunnittelevat maailman tuhoa. Amerikkalaisen kauhukirjallisuuden kärkinimet Stephen King ja Peter Straub pitivät toistensa kirjoista jo ennen kuin olivat tutustuneet toisiinsa. Kun he tapasivat Lontoossa vuonna 1977, syntyi ajatus kirjoittaa yhdessä. Lopputuloksena syntyi siihen asti mittavin koskaan nähty kauhukirjallisuuden yhteistyöprojekti: Talismaani. Vuonna 1984 ilmestyneellä teoksella on suora yhteys Kingin magnum opukseen, kahdeksanosaiseen Musta torni -sarjaan. Sen jatko-osa Pimeyden talo ilmestyi 2001.

King's iconic, beloved classic is 'so beautifully paced that you cannot help but be pulled in' Guardian. 'SOMETIMES ... DEAD IS BETTER' The house looked right, felt right to Dr Louis Creed. Rambling, old, unsmart and comfortable. A place where the family could settle; the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seemed a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago. Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway, grinding up through the gears, hammering down the long gradients, growled out an intrusive threat. But behind the house and far away from the road: that was safe. Just a carefully cleared path up into the woods where generations of local children have processed with the solemn innocence of the young, taking with them their dear departed pets for burial. A sad place maybe, but safe. Surely a safe place. Not a place to seep into your dreams, to wake you, sweating with fear and foreboding.

From master storyteller Stephen King comes a thrilling new novel with intertwining storylines - one about a killer on a diabolical revenge mission, and another about a vigilante targeting a feminist celebrity speaker - featuring the beloved Holly Gibney and a dynamic new cast of characters. When the Buckeye City Police Department receives a disturbing letter from a person threatening to 'kill thirteen innocents and one guilty' in 'an act of atonement for the needless death of an innocent man', Detective Izzy Jaynes has no idea what to think. Are fourteen citizens about to be slaughtered in an unhinged act of retribution? As the investigation unfolds, Izzy realises that the letter writer is deadly serious, and she turns to her friend Holly Gibney for help. Meanwhile, controversial and outspoken women's rights activist Kate McKay is embarking on a multi-state lecture tour, drawing packed venues of both fans and detractors. Someone who vehemently opposes Kate's message of female empowerment is targeting her and disrupting her events. At first, no one is hurt, but the stalker is growing bolder, and Holly is hired to be Kate's bodyguard - a challenging task with a headstrong employer and a determined adversary driven by wrath and unhinged righteousness. Featuring a riveting cast of characters both old and new, including world-famous gospel singer Sista Bessie and an unforgettable villain addicted to murder, these twinned narratives converge in a chilling and spectacular conclusion - a feat of storytelling only Stephen King could pull off. Thrilling, wildly fun and outrageously engrossing, Never Flinch is one of King's richest and most propulsive novels.
