King is best known for his iconic, immersive long novels, but he is also a master of the short story, and this is a magnificent collection.
“Wildly imaginative, delightfully diabolical...King once again proves to be the consummate storyteller” (The 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.
