Stephen King's HOLLY marks the triumphant return of beloved King character Holly Gibney. Readers have witnessed Holly's gradual transformation from a shy (but also brave and ethical) recluse in Mr Mercedes to Bill Hodges's partner in Finders Keepers to a full-fledged, smart, and occasionally tough private detective in The Outsider. In King's new novel, Holly is on her own, and up against a pair of unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised adversaries.
When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly is reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just died. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny Dahl's desperate voice makes it impossible for Holly to turn her down.
Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: married octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harbouring an unholy secret in the basement of their well-kept, book-lined home, one that may be related to Bonnie's disappearance. And it will prove nearly impossible to discover what they are up to: they are savvy, they are patient, and they are ruthless.
Holly must summon all her formidable talents to outthink and outmanoeuvre the shockingly twisted professors in this chilling new masterwork from Stephen King.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author, legendary storyteller, and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary collection of four new and compelling novellas—Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, The Life of Chuck, Rat, and the title story If It Bleeds—each pulling you into intriguing and frightening places.
The novella is a form King has returned to over and over again in the course of his amazing career, and many have been made into iconic films, including “The Body” (Stand By Me) and “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption” (Shawshank Redemption).
Like Four Past Midnight, Different Seasons, and most recently Full Dark, No Stars, If It Bleeds is a uniquely satisfying collection of longer short fiction by an incomparably gifted writer.
The second standalone novel in Stephen King's Bill Hodges trilogy
(Mr Mercedes, Finders Keepers, End of Watch) - and the basis of the
third season of Mr Mercedes, an AT&T Audience Original Series
(10 September 2019). 1978: Morris Bellamy is a reader so obsessed
by America's iconic author John Rothstein that he is prepared to
kill for a trove of notebooks containing at least one more
unpublished novel. 2009: Pete Saubers, a boy whose father was
brutally injured by a stolen Mercedes, discovers a buried trunk
containing cash and Rothstein's notebooks. 2014: After thirty-five
years in prison, Morris is up for parole. And he's hell-bent on
recovering his treasure. Now it's up to retired detective Bill
Hodges - running an investigative company called 'Finders Keepers'
- to rescue Pete from an ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris...
Not since Misery has King written with such visceral power about a
reader with such a dangerous obsession. Finders Keepers is
spectacular suspense, and it is King writing about how literature
shapes a life for good, for bad, for ever.
The first standalone novel in Stephen King's Bill Hodges trilogy
(Mr Mercedes, Finders Keepers, End of Watch) - and the basis of Mr

'the Mercedes massacre', a case he never solved. Brady Hartsfield,

letter. Now he's preparing to kill again. Each starts to close in
on the other in a mega-stakes race against time.

Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes into the deepest well of his imagination in this spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil are at war, and the stakes could not be higher - for their world or ours.
Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was ten, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself - and his dad. Then, when Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from it.
Charlie starts doing jobs for Mr. Bowditch and loses his heart to Radar. Then, when Bowditch dies, he leaves Charlie a cassette tape telling a story no one would believe. What Bowditch knows, and has kept secret all his long life, is that inside the shed is a portal to another world.
King's storytelling in Fairy Tale soars. This is a magnificent and terrifying tale about another world than ours, in which good is pitted against overwhelming evil, and a heroic boy - and his dog - must lead the battle.

Holly Gibney, one of Stephen King's most compelling and ingeniously
resourceful characters, returns in this thrilling novel to solve
the gruesome truth behind multiple disappearances in a midwestern
town. "Sometimes the universe throws you a rope." --BILL HODGES
Stephen King's Holly marks the triumphant return of beloved King
character Holly Gibney. Readers have witnessed Holly's gradual
transformation from a shy (but also brave and ethical) recluse in
Mr. Mercedes to Bill Hodges's partner in Finders Keepers to a
full-fledged, smart, and occasionally tough private detective in
The Outsider. In King's new novel, Holly is on her own, and up
against a pair of unimaginably depraved and brilliantly disguised
adversaries. When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective
agency hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly is
reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her
(very complicated) mother has just died. And Holly is meant to be
on leave. But something in Penny Dahl's desperate voice makes it
impossible for Holly to turn her down. Mere blocks from where
Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris.
They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: married
octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semi-retired lifelong
academics. But they are harboring an unholy secret in the basement
of their well-kept, book-lined home, one that may be related to
Bonnie's disappearance. And it will prove nearly impossible to
discover what they are up to: they are savvy, they are patient, and
they are ruthless. Holly must summon all her formidable talents to
outthink and outmaneuver the shockingly twisted professors in this
chilling new masterwork from Stephen King. "I could never let Holly
Gibney go. She was supposed to be a walk-on character in Mr.
Mercedes and she just kind of stole the book and stole my heart.
Holly is all her." --STEPHEN KING

The spellbinding saga of The Talisman is now a stunning graphic
novel, vividly illustrated by artist Tony Shasteen. Here's a bold
new look at the classic tale of treachery and betrayal that could
only have sprung from the imaginations of master storytellers
Stephen King and Peter Straub. In a run-down amusement park on a
desolate beach in New Hampshire, thirteen-year-old Jack Sawyer is
about to learn some hard truths-about his father's death, about why
he and his mother are on the run from his sinister uncle Morgan,
and about the real nature of the mysterious realm Jack once called
the Daydreams. Now, with help from his newfound friend Speedy
Parker, this young man will reclaim his identity as Travellin Jack
and make his first foray back into the Territories to retrieve the
magical Talisman, an object of immense cosmic significance. Yet
even more important to Jack, the Talisman holds the key to saving
his mother's life. In the Terrorities, where monsters lurk, evil
watches, and an unbelievably precious prize awaits, Jack embarks
upon a desperate quest to fulfill a destiny he never sought but
cannot escape.
