Description
A 'bumper collection of short stories' (Sunday Telegraph} from the No. 1 bestselling master of the form, now with a stunning new cover look.
The Stephen King Amusement Park - an unnerving experience, with rides every which way to hell . . . and a few to glory.
A solitary finger pokes out of a drain. Novelty teeth turn predatory. The Nevada desert swallows a Cadillac. Meanwhile, the legend of Castle Rock returns . . . and grows on you. What does it all mean? What else could it mean? Stephen King is here with a powerful collection of stories - a vast, many-chambered cave of a volume.
The long reach of Stephen King's imagination will take you on a roller coaster to places you've never been before. You will lose sleep. But Stephen King, writing to beat the devil, will do your dreaming for you.

Reviews
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 * The Times *
