Reviews

“A master storyteller.” —Los Angeles Times

“Eerie. . . . Ought to chill the cockles of many a heart.” —Chicago Tribune

“A master. . . . [King] will catch you in his web and reach you at an elemental level where there is no defense.” —The Cincinnati Enquirer

“Stephen King has built a literary genre of putting ordinary people in the most terrifying situations. . . . he’s the author who can always make the improbable so scary you'll feel compelled to check the locks on the front door.” —The Boston Globe

“Peerless imagination.” —The Observer (London)

 

 

 

The dust-jacket is just about FINE with light toning as typical for this edition. No rips, tears, or creases. The graphics are clear and bright.
The book is NF+ . It appears unread with a square and tight spine. Slight wrinkling to bottom heel of spine. A wonderful bright clean copy, free of any other marks, writings, or stampings. The binding is uniform and tight, pages clean, and with no scuffs, marks, dents, bruises. No bookplates attached or removed. This book stands out as having had exemplary care. Protected in brand new Mylar covering. Clean boards with sharp corners that are not bumped.
