From A Buick 8: Stephen King
$10.00There'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.

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.

Late last night and the night before...Tommyknockers, tommyknockers, knocking at the door...Something's happening in the idylllic little town of Haven, Maine. Something that comes from a metal object, buried for millennia, that Bobbi literally accidentally stumbles across. Now there's something strange about Bobbi, too. Jim Gardner, poet, drunk and potential suicide decides to visit Bobbi, his only real friend - and he finds she's lost an alarming amount of weight...and she's dismantling kitchen appliances and making weirdly brilliant inventions out of them...and then there's the thing she's discovered buried in her garden. And as she digs, the metamorphosis of Haven's citizens becomes stranger and more murderous to outsiders. Jim realises he isn't in another drunken nightmare, he's in a waking one of terrifying significance. Bobbi and the other good folks of Haven didn't sell their souls to reap the rewards of the most deadly evil this side of hell. It was more like a diabolical takeover...an invasion of body, soul - and mind... -
In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis’s parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, a secret Government facility, in a room that looks just like his own, except there’s no window.

If you go along, you get tokens for the vending machines. If you don’t, punishment is brutal. Luke becomes more and more desperate to get out and get help...but no one has ever escaped from the Institute... -
