Soon to be a major motion picture from Paramount Pictures starring John Lithgow, Jason Clarke, and Amy Seimetz! King’s iconic, beloved classic is ‘so beautifully paced that you cannot help but be pulled in’ – Guardian
‘SOMETIMES…DEAD IS BETTER’
The house looks right, feels right to Dr Louis Creed. Rambling, old and comfortable. A place where the family can settle; the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seem a world away from the fume-choked dangers of the city.
It’s only those big trucks on the road outside which growl out unnerving threats.
Behind the house there’s a carefully cleared path up into the woods to a place where generations of local children have walked in procession with the solemn innocence of the young, taking with them their dear departed pets for burial.
A sad place maybe, but safe. Surely a safe place. Not a place to seep into your dreams, to wake you, sweating with fear and foreboding…
‘King can make the flesh creep half a world away’ – The Times
‘So beautifully paced that you cannot help but be pulled in’ – Guardian
‘The most frightening novel Stephen King has ever written’ – Publisher’s Weekly
‘Wild, powerful, disturbing’ – Washington Post Book Review
