A collection of horror in varied forms

Stephen King’s first short-story collection gathers horror across a range of threats and situations, from mutated rats and a virus endangering humanity to an evil lawnmower and unsettling children. Other stories center on a smoker trying to quit and an alcoholic facing a gruesome transformation. The collection also includes “Night Surf,” identified in the source as a basis for *The Stand*, alongside stories adapted for film and television. Its compact, varied premises make the book a sampler of horror built around both uncanny dangers and human vulnerabilities.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in short-form horror rather than a single extended narrative.
  • Readers seeking stories involving supernatural threats, bodily transformation, or dangers to humanity.
  • Readers curious about stories connected to adaptations such as *Children of the Corn* and *The Boogeyman*.

Book overview

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR - A treasure trove of bone-chilling tales from the "undisputed master of suspense and terror" (The Washington Post) who shaped American horror

Features the stories that inspired The Stand and over a dozen acclaimed horror movies and television series, including Children of the Corn, Lawnmower Man, Chapelwaite, and The Boogeyman

Stephen King's first collection of short stories showcases the darkest depths of his brilliant imagination. Here we see mutated rats gone bad ("Graveyard Shift"); a cataclysmic virus that threatens humanity ("Night Surf," the basis for The Stand); a possessed, evil lawnmower ("The Lawnmower Man"); unsettling children from the heartland ("Children of the Corn"); a smoker who will try anything to stop ("Quitters, Inc."); a reclusive alcoholic who begins a gruesome transformation ("Gray Matter"); and many more shadows and visions that will haunt you long after the last page is turned.
