Shining
Danny is only five years old, but in the words of old Mr Hallorann he is a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father becomes caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, Danny's visions grow out of control.As winter closes in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seems to develop a life of its own. It is meant to be empty. So who is the lady in Room 217 and who are the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why do the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive?Somewhere, somehow, there is an evil force in the hotel - and that, too, is beginning to shine ...
Cell
'Civilization slipped into its second dark age on an unsurprising track of blood but with a speed that could not have been foreseen by even the most pessimistic futurist. By Halloween, every major city from New York to Moscow stank to the empty heavens and the world as it had been was a memory.' The event became known as The Pulse. The virus was carried by every cell phone operating within the entire world. Within hours, those receiving calls would be infected. A young artist Clayton Riddell realises what is happening. He flees the devastation of explosive, burning Boston, desperate to reach his son before his son switches on his little red mobile phone ...

It
To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry Maine was just their home town: familiar, well-ordered for the most part. A good place to live.It was the children who saw and felt what made Derry so horribly diff
erent. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one s deepest dread. Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing . . .The adults, knowing better, knew nothing.Time passed and the children grew
up, moved away. The horror of IT was deep-buried, wrapped in forgetfulness. Until they were called back, once more to confront IT as IT stirred and coiled in the sullen depths of their memories, reaching up again to make their past nightmares a terr
ible present reality.
Needful Things
There was a new shop in town. Run by a stranger.Needful Things, the sign said. The oddest name. A name that caused some gossip and speculation among the good folks of Castle Rock, Maine, while they waited for opening day.Eleven-year-old Brian Rusk wa
s the first customer and he got just what he wanted, a very rare 1956 Sandy Koufax baseball card. Signed. Cyndi Rose Martin was next. A Lalique vase. A perfect match for her living room decor.Something for everyone. Something you really had to have.
And always at a price you could just about afford. The cash price that is. Because there was another price. There always is when your heart s most secret, true desire is for sale . . .
Rose Madder
Roused by a single drop of blood, Rosie Daniels wakes up to the chilling realisation that her husband is going to kill her. And she takes flight - with his credit card. Alone in a strange city, Rosie begins to build a new life: she meets Bill Steiner and she finds an odd junk shop painting, 'Rose Madder', which strangely seems to want her as much as she wants it. But it's hard for Rosie not to keep looking over her shoulder. Rose-maddened and on the rampage, Norman is a corrupt cop with a dog's instinct for tracking people. And he's getting close. Rosie can feel how close he is getting ...A brilliant, dark-hued fable of gender wars, a haunting love story, and a hold-your-breath triumph of suspense, ROSE MADDER is Stephen King at his electrifying best.
Insomnia
You'll lose a lot of sleep ...Ralph does. At first he starts waking up earlier. And earlier. Then the hallucinations start - the colours, shapes and strange auras. Not to mention the bald doctors who always turn up at the scene of a death. That's whe
n Ralph begins to lose a lot more than sleep. When he begins to understand why his hitherto mild-mannered friend, Ed, is getting out of control - dangerously so. And why his home town is about to become the new Armageddon ...

Zpěv Susannah
Šestý, předposlední díl knihy je jako přebírání nitek těsně předtím, než je autorovy prsty umným hmatem přeskupí do zcela nového tvaru. K nitkám je navázáno mnoho světů a příběhů, které se před našima očima propojují v jediný mnohotvárný celek. Jak už název naznačuje, kniha je věnována především osudům Susannah, té, která se dělí o svou mysl a tělo nejen s Dettou a Odettou, ale také s Miou. Zjistíme, jaké jsou důvody a cíle Miina počínání, zatímco zbytek ka-tet, Roland, Jake, Ochu, Don Callahan a Eddie, napínají všechny síly, aby Susannah zachránili a mohli pokračovat k cestě k Věži. A na této cestě nahlédneme rovněž pod pokličku jistému spisovateli z Maine.

Lacná kniha Song of Susannah (-50%)
Song of Susannah continues directly from the almost literally cliff-hanging epilogue to Wolves of the Calla. Meanwhile the penultimate instalment in the Dark Tower septet follows three interlocked storylines. Roland and Eddie in New England, where
they undergo the firestorm of the books only major action set-piece, Jake and Father Callahan hot in pursuit of Susannah in New York, and Susannah herself, together with her alter ego Mia, struggling with probably the strangest pregnancy in all fic
tion. Her travails certainly make the New York horrors of Ira Levins Rosemarys Baby seem almost mundane. The novel is not complete in itself, but leads to a duel climax-cliffhanger leading directly into the final volume, The Dark Tower. While th
e journey itself is compelling and the finale riveting, it is Stephen Kings imaginative boldness which make this episode so remarkable. Stories about storytelling have become increasingly common in modern fiction, with books within books and fiction
al authors being central to such metafictions as Christopher Priests The Affirmation and Jonathan Carrolls The Land of Laughs. King though takes the process further, writing himself into the saga, playing ingenious games with what the public knows
of his life, even to his famous near fatal accident in 1999, and in a breathtaking achievement weaving the 34 year long writing of this series of books into its own fabric. The shocking sting in the final pages mean all bets are off for the epic fina
l volume.
