Stephen King
The #1 New York Times bestseller from master storyteller Stephen King—four chilling novellas that will “grab you and not let go” (The Washington Post).ONE PAST MIDNIGHT: The Langoliers takes a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Boston into a most unfriendly sky. Only eleven passengers survive, but landing in an eerily empty world makes them wish they hadn’t. TWO PAST MIDNIGHT: Secret Window, Secret Garden enters the suddenly strange life of writer Mort Rainey, recently divorced, depressed, and alone on the shore of Tashmore Lake—until the mysterious John Shooter arrives, pointing an accusing finger. THREE PAST MIDNIGHT: The Library Policeman has his terrifying sights set on businessman Sam Peebles, who thinks he may be losing his mind. But another enemy lurks as well—the truth—and if Sam can find it in time, he might stand a chance. FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT: The Sun Dog comes in the form of a looming supernatural menace, appearing in every picture that young Kevin Delevan takes with his new camera. Pop Merrill, Castle Rock’s sharpest trader, aims to exploit it for profit—but this creature is a very dangerous investment.

"You know, I've owned this book for fecking ages and I have never read past the first two stories, The Library Policeman and The Sun Dog were actually both really good, I liked the fact the last story went back to kid relatedness. I've found Stephen King's stories where kids were the main characters are my favorite. And the Sun Dog is one of the best stories in the book oddly enough, if I do a reread I'll definitely go through and read this one again as well! Love this set of stories."
"I love reading Stephen King....he always scares the HELLOOOO out of me!!! This book was a great read....the first story "The Langoliers" really stuck in my head after I read it....I still often think about it. THEN....I read "Secret Window, Secret Garden"....OMG......I consider this the best short story/novel that Stephen King has ever written!...I was so engrossed in this story while reading it and absolutely STUNNED and SHOCKED by the ending....what an incredible story!!! I recommend it to everyone who has ever wanted to read Stephen King....FANTASTIC!!! The other two stories didn't really catch my interest as much......but all in all it was a fun book to read."
