Synopsis
'Civilization slipped into its second dark age on an unsurprising track of blood but with a speed that could not have been foreseen by even the most pessimistic futurist. By Halloween, every major city from New York to Moscow stank to the empty heavens and the world as it had been was a memory.' The event became known as The Pulse. The virus was carried by every cell phone operating within the entire world. Within ten hours, most people would be dead or insane.
A young artist Clayton Riddell realises what is happening. And together with Tom McCourt and a teenage girl called Alice, he flees the devastation of explosive, burning Boston, desperate to reach his son before his son switches on his little red mobile phone...

Review
Very clever and brilliantly written . . . you won't use your mobile for days. (Guardian)
Storytelling - the ability to make the listener or the reader need to know, demand to know, what happens next - is a gift . . . Stephen King has this gift in spades. (The Times)
'In matters of the imagination, Stephen King invariably springs for the triple somersault with a double twist, even when a swan dive might do. He ferrets in the shadows of paranormal gore, shedding markers of popular culture like a magpie spilling its stash. His eye for detail stamps him apart from most popular writers - that and his refusal to bow to limits.' (The Bulletin, Australia)
King has inspired a whole generation to read...a fabulous teller of stories who can create an entire new world and make the reader live in it (Express)
Nobody does it better (Daily Telegraph)
King has carved, bloodily, his own particular niche as a horror writer...his are tales so cinematically told that they vividly appear on the screen in your mind...With gleeful energy and stomach-turning detail King describes the destruction of downtown Beantown (The West Australian)
From the Publisher
Campbell Scott's reading of CELL by Stephen King will send shivers down your spine - if you're a fan of King, or even of books, you have to hear this.
