The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

“A gem... Superb.” — San Francisco Examiner

On a six-mile hike on the Maine–New Hampshire branch of the Appalachian Trail, nine-year-old Trisha McFarland quickly tires of the constant bickering between her older brother, Pete, and her recently divorced mother. But when she wanders off by herself and then tries to catch up by attempting a shortcut, she becomes lost in a wilderness maze full of peril and terror.

As night falls, Trisha has only her ingenuity as a defense against the elements, and only her courage and faith to withstand her mounting fear. For solace she tunes her Walkman to broadcasts of Red Sox baseball games and follows the gritty performances of her hero, relief pitcher Tom Gordon. And when her radio’s reception begins to fade, Trisha imagines that Tom Gordon is with her—her protector from an enemy who may or may not be real...one who is watching her, waiting for her in the dense, dark woods...

Stephen King “hits home” (USA Today) with this #1 New York Times bestseller THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON

Night Shift

“EERIE...OUGHT TO CHILL THE COCKLES OF MANY A HEART.” — Chicago Tribune

NIGHT SHIFT — Stephen King’s first collection of stories — is, to this day, one of the most terrifying. King showcases the depths that his wicked imagination could plumb. In these 20 tales, we see mutated rats gone bad ("Graveyard Shift"), a cataclysmic virus that threatens humanity ("Night Surf," the basis for The Stand), a smoker who will try anything to stop (Quitters, Inc."), a reclusive alcoholic who begins a gruesome transformation ("Gray Matter"), and many more. This is Stephen King at his horrifying best.

“A MASTER... [KING] WILL CATCH YOU IN HIS WEB AND REACH YOU AT AN ELEMENTAL LEVEL WHERE THERE IS NO DEFENSE.” — Palm Beach Post

Misery

"YOU OWE ME YOUR LIFE. REMEMBER THAT. I HOPE YOU'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND."

Bestselling novelist Paul Sheldon thinks he’s finally free of Misery Chastain. In a controversial career move, he’s just killed off the popular protagonist of his beloved romance series in favor of expanding his creative horizons. But such a change doesn’t come without consequences. After a near-fatal car accident in rural Colorado leaves his legs broken, Paul finds himself at the mercy of the terrifying “number one fan” who’s nursing him back to health — the reclusive and psychotic Annie Wilkes. And Annie’s not upset over what Paul did to Misery — oh no, demands that he find a way to bring her back by any means necessary have just begun. Paul has all the time in the world to do so as a prisoner in her isolated home... and Annie has some very persuasive and violent methods to get exactly what she wants...

The Shining

“SCARY... SERVES UP HORRORS AT A BRISK, UNFLAGGING PACE.” — The New York Times

Jack Torrance’s new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he’ll have plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and working on his writing. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location begins to feel ever more remote... and more sinister. And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old.
