Winner of the 2020 Audio Publishers Association Lifetime Achievement Award Includes the story "Premium Harmony"--set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine The masterful #1 New York Times bestselling story collection from O. Henry Prize winner Stephen King that includes twenty-one iconic stories with accompanying autobiographical comments on when, why, and how he came to write (or rewrite) each one. For more than thirty-five years, Stephen King has dazzled readers with his genius as a writer of short fiction. In this collection, he introduces each story with a passage about its origins or his motivations for writing it. As Entertainment Weekly said about this collection: "Bazaar of Bad Dreams is bursting with classic King terror, but what we love most are the thoughtful introductions he gives to each tale that explain what was going on in his life as he wrote it." There are thrilling connections between stories; themes of morality, the afterlife, guilt, what we would do differently if we could see into the future or correct the mistakes of the past. In "Afterlife," a man who died of colon cancer keeps reliving the same life, repeating his mistakes over and over again. Several stories feature characters at the end of life, revisiting their crimes and misdemeanors. Others address what happens when someone discovers that he has supernatural powers--the columnist who kills people by writing their obituaries in "Obits;" the old judge in "The Dune" who, as a boy, canoed to a deserted island and saw names written in the sand, people who then died in freak accidents. In "Morality," King looks at how a marriage and two lives fall apart after the wife and husband enter into what seems, at first, a devil's pact they can win. "I made these stories especially for you," says King. "Feel free to examine them, but please be careful. The best of them have teeth." Stories include: -Mile 81 -Premium Harmony -Batman and Robin Have an Altercation -The Dune -Bad Little Kid -A Death -The Bone Church -Morality -Afterlife -Ur -Herman Wouk Is Still Alive -Under the Weather -Blockade Billy -Mister Yummy -Tommy -The Little Green God of Agony -Cookie Jar -That Bus Is Another World -Obits -Drunken Fireworks -Summer Thunder

Stephen King's #1 Bestseller As You've Never Seen It BeforeFeaturing more than 20 illustrations by acclaimed artists Pat Kinsella, Robert McGinnis, and Mark Summers, this brand new edition of JOYLAND brings the carny world to life in all its bright and sinister glory. College student Devin Jones took the summer job at Joyland hoping to forget the girl who broke his heart. But he wound up facing something far more terrible: the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and dark truths about life-and what comes after-that would change his world forever. A riveting story about love and loss, about growing up and growing old-and about those who don't get to do either because death comes for them before their time- JOYLAND is Stephen King at the peak of his storytelling powers. With all the emo- tional impact of King masterpieces such as The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption, JOYLAND is at once a mystery, a horror story, and a bittersweet coming-of-age novel, one that will leave even the most hard-boiled of readers pro- foundly moved.

A spectacularly dark and electrifying novel about addiction, religion, music and what might exist on the other side of life. In a small New England town, in the early 60s, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister, Charles Jacobs. Soon they forge a deep bond, based on their fascination with simple experiments in electricity. Decades later, Jamie is living a nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll. Now an addict, he sees Jacobs again - a showman on stage, creating dazzling 'portraits in lightning' - and their meeting has profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil's devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings. This rich and disturbing novel spans five decades on its way to the most terrifying conclusion Stephen King has ever written. It's a masterpiece from King, in the great American tradition of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe.

Now an AT&T Audience Original Series A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes far too far--a book about the power of storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes King introduced in Mr. Mercedes. "Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel. Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. Decades later, a boy named Pete Saubers finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he's released from prison after thirty-five years. Not since Misery has King played with the notion of a reader whose obsession with a writer gets dangerous. Finders Keepers is spectacular, heart-pounding suspense, but it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life--for good, for bad, forever.

King's incredible crime thriller featuring Bill Hodges and introducing Holly Gibney is now released with with a stunning new cover look. Who is going to be the fish in this relationship, and who is going to be the fisherman? BILL HODGESretired cop, tormented by 'the Mercedes massacre', a case he never solved.

Now each is closing in on the other in a mega-stakes race against time from worldwide bestselling master of suspense, Stephen King.

Du funderar väl på att fly. Jag är säker på att en råtta i en fälla också gör det, på sitt sätt. Men det kommer du inte att kunna göra, Paul. Du kanske skulle kunna göra det om det här var en av dina berättelser, men det är det inte. Paul Sheldon är en världsberömd författare. Han skriver böcker om hjältinnan Lida Chastain, men har tröttnat på sin huvudkaraktär och bestämmer sig för att låta henne dö. Det visar sig vara ett stort misstag. Paul vaknar upp efter en våldsam bilolycka och befinner sig i ett hus mitt ute i ingenstans. Han har tagits omhand av Annie Wilkes – Pauls största fan och en stor beundrare av Lida Chastain. Ganska snart inser Paul att allting inte står rätt till hos sin vårdare. När Annie läser manuset där Lida dör, blir hon fullkomligt rasande och tvingar Paul att skriva en ny bok där Lida återuppstår. Annie håller Paul under strikt kontroll och manipulerar honom med droger och skoningslöst våld. Den världsberömda författaren befinner sig nu i en situation där skrivandet bokstavligen är det enda som håller honom vid liv. Lida är en intensiv psykologisk thriller i kammarspelsformat. Den utkom första gången 1987.” Ur sitt eget mörker hämtar King det värsta monstret någonsin – sjuksköterskan Annie Wilkes. Hon skrämmer livet ur mig. Jag älskar henne så.” Åsa Larsson

Dolores Claiborne har något att berätta. Hon förhörs av polisen efter Vera Donovans plötsliga död – den rika, invalidiserade gamla damen som Dolores vårdat så länge. Alla vet att de två kvinnorna inte alltid varit sams, och dödsfallet döljer en hel del mysterier. När Dolores nu möter rättvisan har hon dock långt mycket mer att komma med: en livshistoria, en bekännelse och ett försvar. Poliserna som leder förhöret om Vera Donovans frånfälle får också höra vad som egentligen hände under den stora solförmörkelsen trettio år tidigare, dagen då Dolores man Joe dog. Dolores Claiborne, som kom ut 1992, är en av Stephen Kings mest övertygande romaner. Det är berättelsen om ett äktenskap där en psykisk terror satt sin klo i tillvaron och alla gränser överskridits.
