80-luvun hittijärkäle kuuluu joka kauhufanin yleissivistykseen! Stephen Kingin ja Peter Straubin vauhdikas fantasiateos, jonka samaistuttava päähenkilö joutuu tekemään vaikeita valintoja kahden maailman välissä. Eeppistä fantasiaa, myyttistä kauhua ja äärimmilleen viritettyä jännitystä! 12-vuotias Jack Sawyer ja hänen vakavasti sairas äitinsä Lily ovat paossa miestä, joka on vastuussa Jackin isän kuolemasta. Liikuskellessaan yksin autiolla lomaseudulla Jack tutustuu vanhaan huvipuiston huoltomieheen, Speedy Parkeriin. Parker kertoo, että on olemassa rinnakkainen maailma, Territorio, ja siellä taianomainen Talismaani, jonka avulla hänen äitinsä voisi parantua. Alkaa piinaavan jännittävä etsintämatka, jonka aikana Jack liikkuu maailmasta toiseen. Kerran toisensa jälkeen hän joutuu vaikean valinnan eteen, sillä jokainen päätös vaikuttaa molempiin maailmoihin - hyvässä tai pahassa. 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.
One of the true classics of horror, THE SHINING is regarded as one of Stephen King's masterpieces. Danny is only five years old, but in the words of old Mr Hallorann he is a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father becomes caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, Danny's visions grow out of control. As winter closes in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seems to develop a life of its own. It is meant to be empty. So who is the lady in Room 217 and who are the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why do the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive? Somewhere, somehow, there is an evil force in the hotel - and that, too, is beginning to shine . . .
One of the true classics of psychological suspense, about a writer and his No. 1 fan. Paul Sheldon used to write for a living. Now he's writing to stay alive. Misery Chastain is dead. Paul Sheldon has just killed her - with relief, with joy. Misery made him rich; she was the heroine of a string of bestsellers. And now he wants to get on to some real writing. That's when the car accident happens, and he wakes up splinted and in pain, in the remote mountain home of his rescuer, Annie Wilkes. The good news is that Annie was a nurse and has pain-killing drugs. The bad news is that she has long been Paul's Number One Fan. And when she finds out what Paul has done to Misery, she doesn't like it. She doesn't like it at all . . .
Firestarter is King's classic thriller about a young girl with a terrifying gift. You're a firestarter honey . . . just one big zippo lighter. A year ago, he was an upstanding instructor of English at Harrison State College. Now Andy is on the run with his daughter. A pigtailed girl named Charlie. A girl with an unimaginably terrifying gift. A gift which could be useful to corrupt authorities. Soon Charlie will be caught up in the menace of a fateful drug experiment and a sinister government ploy . . . Let the reader beware: FIRESTARTER is Stephen King at his most mesmerising . . . and menacing.
King's classic tale of survival sees a young mother and her son trapped in a car by a horrifyingly familiar monster. Once upon a time, not so long ago, a monster came to the small town of Castle Rock, Maine . . . Cujo is a huge Saint Bernard dog, the best friend Brett Camber has ever had. Then one day Cujo chases a rabbit into a bolt-hole. Except it isn't a rabbit warren any more. It is a cave inhabited by rabid bats. And Cujo falls sick. Very sick. And the gentle giant who once protected the family becomes a vortex of horror inexorably drawing in all the people around him . . .

The acclaimed #1 New York Times bestseller from Stephen King--a frightening suspense novel about a young girl who becomes lost in the woods as night falls. During a six-mile hike on the Maine-New Hampshire branch of the Appalachian Trail, nine-year-old Trisha McFarland quickly tires of the constant bickering between her older brother and her recently divorced mother. But when Trisha briefly wanders off by herself, she becomes lost in a wilderness maze full of peril and terror. As night falls, Trisha has only her ingenuity as a defense against the elements, and only her courage and faith to withstand her mounting fears. For solace, she tunes her headphones to broadcasts of Boston Red Sox baseball games and follows the gritty performances of her hero, relief pitcher Tom Gordon. And when the reception begins to fade, Trisha imagines that Tom Gordon is right there with her--the protector from an enemy who may or may not be imagined...one who is watching her, waiting for her in the dense, dark woods...

Road Rage CD: Includes 'Duel and Throttle

Road Rage unites Richard Matheson's classic Duel and the contemporary work it inspired--two power-packed short stories by three of the genre's most acclaimed authors. Duel, an unforgettable tale about a driver menaced by a semi truck, was the source for Stephen Spielberg's acclaimed first film of the same name. Throttle, by Stephen King and Joe Hill, is a duel of a different kind, pitting a faceless trucker against a tribe of motorcycle outlaws, in the simmering Nevada desert. Their battle is fought out on twenty miles of the most lonely road in the country, a place where the only thing worse than not knowing what you're up against, is slowing down . . .
Murhaajan kostoretki, julkkisfeministin kujanjuoksu ja kuolettavat arpajaiset. Kauhun kuninkaan suosikkietsivä Holly Gibneytä tarvitaan taas. Kun Buckeye Cityn poliisilaitokselle saapuu kirje, jossa uhataan ”tappaa kolmetoista viatonta ja yksi syyllinen sovitukseksi viattoman miehen tarpeettomasta kuolemasta”, etsivä Izzy Jaynes kutsuu hätiin ystävänsä Holly Gibneyn. Samaan aikaan suorasukainen naisten oikeuksien puolustaja Kate McKay on lähdössä luentokiertueelle, jota joku on päättänyt hankaloittaa parhaansa mukaan. Apuun tarvitaan tälläkin kertaa etsivä Holly Gibney. Hyytävä loppunäytös, jossa näennäisen erilliset kertomukset nivoutuvat yhteen, on tarinankerronnan taidonnäyte, johon vain Stephen King pystyy.
Eeppisen Talismaani-trilogian viimeinen osa saattaa päätökseen paitsi Jack Sawyerin myös Musta torni -sarjan tarinan. Samalla se on kiehtova itsenäinen romaani kauhun kuninkaan uusille ja vanhoille ystäville. Stephen Kingin ja Peter Straubin yhteistyönä syntynyt Toiset maailmat yhdistelee kauhua, paranoidia satua ja vetävää jännitystä. Talismaanissa 12-vuotias Jack Sawyer löysi rinnakkaismaailman, jonne hänen oli matkattava pelastaakseen kuolemansairas äitinsä. Uudelleen hänet tavattiin 37-vuotiaana Pimeyden talossa, missä hänen oli taltutettava Purppurakuningas. Nyt, 20 vuotta myöhemmin, Jackin on pysäytettävä liki mahdoton vastustaja sekä meidän maailmassamme että siellä toisessa. Luvassa on niin mustaa seikkailufantasiaa, että Stephen Kingin täytyy kai olla toisesta maailmasta.
Kiusaamisen ja seksuaalisuuden teemat kietoutuvat silkaksi kauhuksi Kingin esikoisromaanissa. Carrie Whiten elämä ei ole helppoa: koulussa ei ole kavereita, ja kotona kimpussa on kiihkouskovainen äiti. Carriella on kuitenkin salaisuus: hän osaa liikuttaa esineitä ajatuksen voimalla. Ovet loksahtavat lukkoon. Kynttilät kaatuvat. Taito on hyödyllinen, mutta siinä on vaaransa. Kun kiusaajat antavat Carrien hetken uskoa, että kaikki voisi kääntyä paremmaksi, toivo herää – ja romahtaa kun julma pila paljastuu. Piinatun Carrien salattu voima pääsee valloilleen, eikä seurauksia olisi kukaan osannut aavistaa. Pokkari sisältää Margaret Atwoodin kirjoittaman esipuheen.
