Den okrönta skräckklassikernNär Jack Torrance får i uppdrag att ta hand om det isolerade Overlook Hotel över vintern, ser han det som en möjlighet att komma på fötter igen efter att ha misslyckats som författare och fått sparken från sitt lärarjobb. Hans fru, Wendy, ser vintermånaderna uppe i bergen som en chans att läka relationen med Jack och förhindra att familjen splittras. Danny, deras femårige son, ser något helt annat. Han är synsk och kan se scener som ingen femåring någonsin borde få se. Han ser hotellets fasansfulla förflutna och de onda krafter som väntar på familjen ...Varsel är Stephen Kings tredje utgivna roman och den bok som innebar hans stora internationella genombrott. Boken ligger också till grund för Stanley Kubricks klassiska skräckfilm The Shining med Jack Nicholson i huvudrollen."Stephen King är kung!" Mats StrandbergÖversättare: Bo G. A. Ericsson<

Stephen King’s apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and tangled in an elemental struggle between good and evil remains as riveting and eerily plausible as when it was first published. 

A patient escapes from a biological testing facility, unknowingly carrying a deadly weapon: a mutated strain of super-flu that will wipe out 99 percent of the world’s population within a few weeks. Those who remain are scared, bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emerge—Mother Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the nefarious “Dark Man,” who delights in chaos and violence. As the dark man and the peaceful woman gather power, the survivors will have to choose between them—and ultimately decide the fate of all humanity.
