  • Driving home from an evening with his fiancee, Johnny Smith crashes his car.

  • 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. 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 amounts 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.

  • Dolores Claiborne has a story to tell but it's not the one the police expect to hear. Suspected of murdering Vera Donovan, the widow for whom she worked as a housekeeper and companion, Dolores admits the two women didn't always get on. Seemingly neglected by her children and full of bitterness despite her wealth, Vera Donovan hovered on the brink of madness for years. And when her demons became too strong, Dolores was there to take the punishment - and maybe, one day, Dolores had had enough. But Dolores Claibornes's story is different...darker...stranger - and a lot more horrifying.  This is the Book Club Associates edition, dated 1992, the true first edition of this book, predating the 1993 'first' edition.

  • Derry, Maine is an ordinary town; familiar, well-ordered for the most part, a good place to live.  But seven children - who call themselves the Losers - can see and feel what makes Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurks...the IT that takes the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes IT appears as an evil clown, Pennywise, and sometimes IT reaches up, seizing, tearing, killing...Time passes, the Losers grow up, move away and forget...Until they are called back, to confront IT once more, as IT stirs and coils in the sullen depths of their memories, emerging to make their past nightmares a horrible, present reality...
  • At first, Ralph found it hard to drop off to sleep. Then he was waking up earlier and earlier.  Then the hallucinations start - colours, shapes and strange auras around his friends. Not to mention the bald doctors who always seem to materialise at the scene of a death.  Then Ralph begins to understand why his hitherto mild-mannered friend Ed is getting dangerously out of control and why his home town is about to become the new Armageddon. An evil of unimaginable proportions has found its way in - and Ralph has one chance to beat it - in a card game.  The stakes are high - they always are when you're playing for human souls. This was a new phase of writing for King:  his heroes in this outing are the elderly retired Ralph and his middle-aged girlfriend. Cover art by Steven Crisp.
