On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as 'the dome' comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. Dale Barbara, Iraq vet, teams up with a few intrepid citizens against the town's corrupt politician. But time, under the dome, is running out...UNDER THE DOME is King at his epic best and will capture a brand new readership as well as thrilling his existing fans.

For readers new to The Dark Tower, THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE is a stand-alone novel, and a wonderful introduction to the series. It is a story within a story, which features both the younger and older gunslinger Roland on his quest to find the Dark Tower. Fans of the existing seven books in the series will also delight in discovering what happened to Roland and his ka tet between the time they leave the Emerald City and arrive at the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis.This Russian Doll of a novel, a story within a story, within a story, visits Mid-World's last gunslinger, Roland Deschain, and his ka-tet as a ferocious storm halts their progress along the Path of the Beam. (The novel can be placed between Dark Tower IV and Dark Tower V.) Roland tells a tale from his early days as a gunslinger, in the guilt ridden year following his mother's death. Sent by his father to investigate evidence of a murderous shape shifter, a 'skin man,' Roland takes charge of Bill Streeter, a brave but terrified boy who is the sole surviving witness to the beast's most recent slaughter. Roland, himself only a teenager, calms the boy by reciting a story from the Book of Eld that his mother used to read to him at bedtime, 'The Wind through the Keyhole.' 'A person's never too old for stories,' he says to Bill. 'Man and boy, girl and woman, we live for them.' And stories like these, they live for us.

Full dark no stars. On the heels of the stunning success of Under the Dome (Number 1 bestseller, ten printings, more than 1 million in print), a new collection of four never-before-published stories from Stephen King… King of the long story: Stephen King specialises in a length of story that is not a novel but longer than a typical short story. Two previous collections in this model, Different Seasons and Four Past Midnight, were #1 bestsellers and exceptionally well reviewed. Each contained four stories, loosely linked to a theme: in Four Past Midnight, the theme of time; and in Different Seasons, the theme of a journey. The stories in Full Dark, No Stars are also thematically connected - in this case, to marriage. King's stories of this length have also proven immensely ripe for film adaptation. Different Seasons spawned three notable films: Stand By Me, Shawshank Redemption and Apt Pupil, and a story in Four Past Midnight became the television series The Langoliers.
