About The Book
“Wildly imaginative, delightfully diabolical…King once again proves to be the consummate storyteller” (Associated Press).
A supermarket becomes the place where humanity makes its last stand against destruction. A trip to the attic becomes a journey to hell. A woman driving a Jaguar finds a scary shortcut to paradise. An idyllic lake harbors a bottomless evil. And a desert island is the scene of the most terrifying struggle for survival ever waged. This “wonderfully gruesome” collection (The New York Times Book Review) includes:
-“The Mist”
-“Here There Be Tygers”
-“The Monkey”
-“Cain Rose Up”
