Big Mother At 6’1’ and built like a bear, Clay Blaisdell is one big mother, but his capers are strictly small-time until he meets George Rackley. George introduces him to a hundred cons and the one big score that every small timer dreams of: kidnap.
The Gerards are filthy rich, and their child, the last twig on the family tree, could be worth millions. And after all a baby can’t ID you, so you can return it alive.
There’s only one problem: when the time comes for the deal to go down, George, the brains of the partnership, has died.
Or has he?
Cold Terror
Now Blaze is running into the teeth of a howling storm and the cops are closing in. He’s got a baby as a hostage, and the Crime of the Century just turned into a race against time in the white hell of the Maine woods.
Lost for years amongst Stephen King’s papers, and published now for the first time ever, Blaze is a heartstopping thriller reminiscent of Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men with the power of a noir fable.

The last of the Bachman novels, written in 1973 and published for the first time. Stephen King’s ‘dark half’ may have saved the best for last.
In his ‘lifetime’ Richard Bachman published five novels. A sixth, The Regulators was published after he died of pseudonym cancer (a relatively painless way to go) in 1985. He developed a cult following both before and after his death. Two of his novels (Thinner and The Running Man) were made into motion pictures.
Blaze - both brutal and sensitive – is Bachman’s final legacy. It was edited by longtime friend Stephen King, and is introduced by him.

Buy at Amazon.co.uk Lisey's Story
Perhaps Stephen King’s most personal and powerful novel to date, Lisey’s Story is a beautifully textured suspense narrative about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness and the secret language of love.
‘To the public eye, the spouses of well known writers are all but invisible, and no one knew it better than Lisey Landon.’ That is until the maddeningly humid, maddeningly muggy day her husband Scott, a celebrated, award-winning novelist, inaugurated the site of a new library in Nashville. The day that started with a broken toothglass…
Years later, Lisey is ruminating on their marriage of twenty-five years, a marriage of profound, sometimes frightening intimacy. Lisey has always known there was a dark place where her husband ventured to face his demons. Boo’ya Moon is what Scott called it; a realm that both terrified and healed him, that could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed to write and live.
Now it’s Lisey’s turn to face her husband’s demons. And what begins as a widow’s effort to sort through her husband’s effects becomes a perilous journey into the heart of darkness.
'Thrilling, genuinely terrifying, beautifully textured and full of wonderful invention' Daily Mail
‘An incredibly gifted writer’ Guardian
‘Lisey’s Story is a wondrous novel of marriage, a love story steeped in strength and tenderness, and cast with the most vivid, touching and believable characters in recent literature. I came to adore Lisey Landon and her sisters, I ached for Scott and all he’d been through, and when I finally reached the bittersweet and heartfelt conclusion, my first thought was that I wanted to start over again from the beginning, for it felt as if I were saying good-bye to old friends. This is Stephen King at his finest and most generous, a dazzling novel that you’ll thank yourself for reading long after the final page is turned.’ Nicholas Sparks
‘In Lisey’s Story, Stephen King makes bold, brilliant use of his satanic storytelling gift, his angelic ear for language, and above all his incomparable ability to find the epic in the ordinary, to present us with the bloody and fabulous tale of an ordinary marriage. In his hands the long, passionate union of Scott and Lisey Landon - of any long-lived marriage, by implication - becomes a fantastic kingdom, with its own geography and language, its dark and stirring chronicle of heroes and monsters, its tragedies, griefs and glories. King has been getting me to look at the world with terror and wonder since I was fifteen years old, and I have never been more persuaded than by this book of his greatness.’ Michael Chabon

With previously unpublished material and a new introduction by the author
At last Stephen King’s classic bestseller is available as the author originally envisaged it, complete with fifty pages of alternate and deleted scenes. With a new introduction by the author, two short stories related to the events and residents of Jerusalem’s Lot, the lavishly creepy photographs of Jerry Uelsmann, and a stunning new page design, this edition of Stephen King’s second novel, first published in 1975, brings the terrifying story to life in words and pictures as never before.
`Turn off the television - in fact, why don’t you turn off all the lights except for the one over your favourite chair? - and we’ll talk about vampires here in the dim. I think I can make you believe in them.’ Stephen King, from the introduction
‘Salem’s Lot is a small New England town. Like so many others it contains the usual quota of gossips, drinkers, weirdos and respectable folk. Of course there are tales of strange happenings - but not more than in any other town its size.
Ben Mears, a moderately successful writer, returns to the Lot to write a novel based on his early years, and to exorcise the terrors that have haunted him since childhood. The event he witnessed in the house now rented by a new resident. A newcomer with a strange allure. A man who causes Ben some unease as things start to happen: a child disappears, a dog is brutally killed - nothing unusual, except the list starts to grow. And soon surprise will turn to bewilderment, bewilderment to confusion and finally to terror...
A must-have for all Stephen King’s existing fans and a must-read for newcomers, ‘SALEM’S LOT: Illustrated Edition, with the inclusion of material from King’s archive, is destined to become a classic in its own right. No library will be complete without the ideal collector’s item for any King aficionado, the definitive illustrated edition of the great ‘SALEM’S LOT.

Is Your Number UP?
’Civilization slips 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. It is as if it has been waiting to go. On October first, God is in His heaven, the stock market stands at 10,140, and most of the planes are on time (except for those landing and taking off in Chicago, and that’s to be expected). Two weeks later the skies belong to the birds again and the stock market is a memory. By Halloween, every major city from New York to Moscow stinks to the empty heavens and the world as it was is a memory.’
The event became known as The Pulse. The virus was carried by every cellular phone operating in the world. Within hours, those receiving calls would become insane - or die.
In Boston, a young artist, Clayton Riddell, flees the explosive heart of the city. He makes the connection between those using their cell phones and the mayhem that ensues. Clay’s son has a little red cell phone. Often out of juice. But what if this time the battery is full? Clay has to reach his son, before his son reaches for his phone ...
There are one hundred and ninety-three million cell phone users in the United States alone. Who doesn’t have one? This utterly gripping, gory, and fascinating novel doesn’t ask the question ‘Can you hear me now?’ It answers it with a vengeance.
High concept, ingenious, and terrifying: CELL is the perfect nightmare for a whole new generation of Stephen King readers.
