Lacná kniha Vlci z Cally (-50%)
Po vrcholném utkání ve skleněném paláci s Rolandovým dávným známým (Flaggem nebo Martenem... nebo - možná - Maerlynem) a po strašlivém odhalení - že Roland z Gileadu zabil vlastní matku, protože ji považoval za čarodějnici Rheu - se čas opět změnil. Cestovatelé pochopili, že někdo - nebo nějaká síla - je přenesl řidinou zpátky na stezku Paprsku. Poblíž, na větvi stromu, byl připíchnutý vzkaz od bytosti, kterou Roland málem v paláci zabil. "Vzdejte se Věže. To je poslední varování." Opravdu k smíchu. Roland by se Věže nevzdal, stejně jako by nezabil Jakeova ochočeného brumláka a neupekl si ho k večeři. Nikdo z nich by se nevzdal Rolandovy Temné věže. Bůh jim pomoz, zůstanou v tom až do konce.

Under the Dome
There's a reason why Stephen King is one of the best selling writers in the world ever.
He knows how to write stories that suck you in and are impossible to put down. The New York Times describes it as a 'relentless tidal pull' and Stephen King has done it time and time again with stories like The Shawshank Redemption, Misery, The Green Mile and The Stand.
In Under the Dome, he has produced another riveting masterpiece. The end of every chapter hooks you into the next, drawing you inside a psychological drama that is so rich, you don't read it, you live it.
It is the story of the small town of Chester's Mill, Maine which is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. No one can get in and no one can get out.
The normal rules of society are suddenly changed and when food, electricity and water run short, the community begins to crumble. As a new and more sinister social order develops, Dale Barbara, Iraq veteran, teams up with a handful of intrepid citizens to fight against the corruption that is sweeping through the town and to try to discover the source of the Dome before it is too late . . .

Then she discovers a single earring close to the location of Bonnie's abandoned bike.
Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are the picture of bourgeois respectability: semi-retired lifelong academics. But they are harbouring a savage secret in the basement of their book-lined home.

You Like It Darker
'You like it darker? Fine, so do I', writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life - both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel 'the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind', and in You Like it Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.
'Two Talented Bastids' explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In 'Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream', a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny's most catastrophically. In 'Rattlesnakes', a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance - with major strings attached. In 'The Dreamers', a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. 'The Answer Man' asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.
King's ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it.

Ak tečie krv
Holly Gibneyová z detektívnej agentúry Stratení nájdení pracuje na prípade strateného psa – a na zlepšení svojej asertivity –, keď uvidí v televízii zábery z výbuchu bomby na strednej škole Alberta Macreadyho. Len čo si však znova naladí nočné správy, uvedomí si, že s reportérom, ktorý bol na mieste činu ako prvý, nie je niečo v poriadku.
Tak sa začína poviedka Ak tečie krv, samostatné pokračovanie románu Outsider (IKAR 2019), v ktorom sa jedinečná Holly venuje svojmu prvému sólo prípadu. A to, že zbierka poviedok nesie jej názov, nie je náhoda. „Ak tečie krv, ide to na titulku“ hovorí sa medzi novinármi a reportérmi. Vedia prečo.
Sprevádzajú ju ďalšie tri príbehy – Telefón pána Harrigana, Chuckov život a Krysa z pera obľúbeného a výnimočne nadaného spisovateľa, ktorý sa počas svojej plodnej kariéry k tejto kratšej literárnej forme opakovane vracia. Mnohé z jeho poviedok sa stali predlohou kultových filmov. Ale ako hovorí Stephen King: „Filmy sú prchavé, zatiaľ čo knihy – aspoň tie dobré – sú na večné veky, alebo aspoň skoro.“

Fairy Tale
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 ageing 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.

Gwendy's Final Task
King and Chizmar join forces again with a powerful stand-alone novel that is also the final chapter in the Gwendy trilogy.
When Gwendy Peterson was twelve, a stranger named Richard Farris gave her a mysterious box for safekeeping. It offered treats and vintage coins, but it was dangerous. Pushing any of its seven coloured buttons promised death and destruction.
Years later, the button box re-entered Gwendy's life. A successful novelist and a rising political star, she was once more forced to deal with the temptations that the box represented - an amazing sense of wellbeing, balanced by a terrifyingly dark urge towards disaster.
With the passing of time, the box has grown ever stronger and evil forces are striving to possess it. Once again, it is up to Gwendy Peterson, now a United States Senator battling the early symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease, to keep it from them. At all costs. But where can you hide something from such powerful entities?
Gwendy's Final Task is a wildly suspenseful and at the same time deeply moving novel in which 'horror giants' (Publishers Weekly) Stephen King and Richard Chizmar take us on a journey from Castle Rock to another famous cursed Maine city to the MF-1 space station, where Gwendy must execute a secret mission to save the world. And, maybe, all worlds.
