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...

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. -
The Dark Half: Stephen King
$15.00When writer Thad Beaumont hit a difficult period, he created 'George Stark' - at first, Stark was a bit of fun, a pseudonym, complete with a sinister author-biography.

Now, Thad is feeling better and beginning to write for himself and as himself again. He doesn't need George Stark now so he announces that Stark will write no more, and even 'buries' him with a specially-made headstone for a magazine photo-feature. A happy ending to a lucrative but strange period in the life of Thad and Liz Beaumont. Except - George Stark doesn't want to die. Impossibly, he seems to have returned as a killing machine intent on destroying everything and anything that gets between him and his creator...Cover art by Paul Davies -
