  • There's a terrifying secret in the shed at the back of the police barracks in Statler, Pennsylvania. It's been there for twenty years - a beautiful Buick that lures its victims, terrified yet tempted, to look at the gorgeous chrome fenders, the silver grille and exotic exhaust system.  None of which works - because the power of the Buick is not turbo-charged or fuel-injected. It's a conduit to a world beyond and lets the curious officers know by its fantastic light shows - and its terrifying feeding times. Young Ned Wilcox is equally entranced - Ned who comes to the barracks to mow the lawn and wash the windows in an effort to hold onto his father, killed in the line of duty in a road accident with another Buick. Ned can feel it pulling him, calling him to come and have a look. Ned's father wanted answers, and so does Ned...Cover art by Larry Rostant.

  • Book I of Dean Koontz's Frankenstein. Two hundred years old, the monster Deucalion is a monster no more. Literate and intelligent, he arrives in modern-day New Orleans, where he will join forces with a street-smart police detective and her partner on the trail of a macabre serial killer...a serial killer spawned, Deucalion will discover, by his own creator, Dr. Victor Frankenstein, now Victor Helios.

  • Book III of Dean Koontz's Frankenstein. A devastating hurricane approaches New  Orleans and  Victor Helios, once known as Frankenstein, has unleashed his benighted creatures onto the streets. As New Orleans descends into chaos his engineered killers spin out of control and the future of humanity hangs in the balance, the only hope rests with Victor's first, failed attempt to build the perfect human. Deucalion's centuries-old history began as the original manifestation of a soulless vision - and it is fated to end in the ultimate confrontation between a damned creature and his mad creator.

  • Contains: The Langoliers: A handful of passengers on a packed red-eye flight awake to find all the other passengers vanished, the plane still in the air - and they land at a dead, silent terminal. All that would be bad enough - but one of the survivors has brought his demons with him...   Secret Window, Secret GardenRecently divorced writer Mort Rainey is alone at Tashmore Lake - that is, until a figure named John Shooter arrives, pointing an accusing finger. The Library Policeman: In Junction City, Iowa, middle-aged businessman Sam Peebles happens to have some overdue books. It seems a minor offence - but not to Junction City's malevolent monster of a librarian. The Sun Dog:  A simple Polaroid camera owned by a 15-year-old boy in the small town of Castle Rock, Maine, always produces a photograph of an enormous, ugly, vicious looking dog, no matter where Kevin Delevan aims the lens. In each successive picture, the menacing creature draws nearer to the flat surface of the Polaroid film as if it intends to break through. When old Pop Merrill, the town's sharpest trader, gets wind of this phenomenon, he envisions a way to profit from it but the Sun Dog, a beast that shouldn't exist at all, turns out to be a very dangerous investment.
