About this title

Review:

Good anthology of short stories from the horror supremo, mixing the odd, macabre and creepy (Daily Mail)

A bumper collection of short stories ... You can't help admiring King's narrative skills and his versatility as a story-teller (Sunday Telegraph)

Merely by tickling the keys on his word processor King can make flesh creep half a world away. But where he differs from so many chill merchants is that his horror is rarely gratuitous and often informed with a wry humour that is unmistakably contemporary rather than Gothic (The Times)

Book Description:

Hodder are boosting Stephen King's backlist with new covers, new author branding and a marketing campaign which directs readers to the right King title for them.
