Needful Things is the new shop in Castle Rock, run by Mr. Leland Gaunt. There really is something for everyone. For poor little bewildered Nettie Cobb, there's a fabulous carnival glass lampshade to add to her carefully-protected little collection. Nerdish Norris Ridgewick gets a very special fishing rod at a real bargain price. And Myra Evans buys a picture of Elvis Presley that seems to have magical powers. While the cash prices are a bargain, the balance of payment is costly - and Leland Gaunt enjoys seeing how much people will pay for their secret desires. A secret deal here; a bargain cash amount with a balance owing of a harmless little practical joke to be played on someone - all week, wires are crossed all over Castle Rock until the inevitable explosion occurs that literally sets the town ablaze.

In this volume: The Langoliers: A handful of passengers on a packed red-eye flight awake to find all the other passengers and crew vanished, the plane still in the air...they manage to land the plane at a dead, silent terminal and all that would be bad enough - but one of the survivors has brought his demons with him... Secret Window, Secret Garden: Recently 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.Cover art by Paul Davies. -
Gerald’s Game: Stephen King
$10.00Gerald's Game - a husband and wife game. But this time, Jessie didn't want to play. Lying there, spread-eagled, handcuffed to the bed while he'd drooled over her, she felt angry and humiliated. So she'd kicked out - hard. Aiming to get him where it would hurt. And it did hurt - it caused a coronary. Gerald was dead on the floor, leaving Jessie alone and helpless in a lakeside holiday cabin, miles from anywhere. No-one to hear her screams. Alone - except for the voices in her head that had begun to chatter...and argue...and sneer...Cover art by Paul Davies. -

Book II of Dead Beautiful. Renée Winters has changed. When she looks in the mirror, a beautiful girl with an older, sadder face stares back. Her condition has doctors mystified, but Renée can never reveal the truth: she died last May and was brought back to life by the kiss of her Undead soul mate, Dante Berlin. Now, her separation from Dante becomes almost unbearable. His second life is close to an end, and each passing day means one less that she will spend with the boy who shares her soul. Just when Renée has almost given up hope, she learns of the Nine Sisters - brilliant scholars who, according to legend, found a way to cheat death. She can’t shake the feeling that they are somehow connected to her dreams, strange visions that hint at a discovery so powerful, and so dangerous, that some will stop at nothing to protect it. Renée thought she knew the truth about life and death. But there is a secret woven through history that holds the only hope for Dante and Renée. Unless they find answers soon, their time together is doomed to be cut short.... -
England, 1321: Deep in the heart of the countryside lies the isolated village of Ulewic - governed by a sinister regime of Owl Masters: men cloaked in masks and secrecy, ruling with violence, intimidation, and terrifying fiery rites. It is a pagan world of terror and blackmail, where neighbour denounces neighbour and sin is punishable by death. This dark status quo is disturbed by the arrival of a house of religious women who establish a community - a beguinage - outside the village. Why do their crops succeed when village crops fail, and their cattle survive despite the plague? But petty jealousy turns deadly when the women give refuge to a young martyr. For she dies a gruesome death after spitting the sacramental host into flames that can't burn it - what magic is this!? Or is the martyr now a Saint, and the host a holy relic? The battle lines are drawn: accusations of witchcraft and heresy run rife while the Owl Masters rain down hellfire and torment on the women, who must look to their faith to save them; as innocents are swept into the drama; as Ulewic is ravaged by flood and disease; and with villagers driven by fear, a secret inside the beguinage will draw the desperate and the depraved - until masks are dropped, faith is tested…and every lie is exposed. -

Icebound: Dean Koontz
$25.00A widespread drought is causing murderous famine. There is one possible solution: giant masses of Arctic ice, split from the polar pack by high explosives, could be moved south to parched coastlines and melted for water. In an Arctic ice field, a special team of eight scientists has planted sixty powerful bombs that will detonate automatically at midnight. But before they can withdraw to the safety of their base camp - Edgeway Station - a shattering tidal wave breaks loose the ice on which they are working, leaving them hopelessly marooned on an iceberg during the worst winter storm in a decade. The bombs, buried irretrievably deep beneath them in the ice, are ticking...And in the midst of a desperate struggle for survival, the scientists discover that one of them is a ruthless killer on a strange mission of his own...Cover art by Chris Moore. Originally published under the pseudonym David Axton. -
