Miedo por dos es igual a terror absoluto. Atado a un asiento de avión en un vuelo más allá del inferno. Atrapado en las profundidades de la peor pesadilla de un escritor. Simplemente, estás en manos de Stephen King: te dejará tieso con un extraordinario doblete de novelas, que garantizan el paro cardíaco a... las dos después de medianoche. «King nunca parece agotar su magia. Estas novelas demuestran las cualidades que han hecho de él, de lejos, el autor más famoso del mundo.» Chicago Tribune

Había una vez cuatro chicos, compañeros en todo, que decidieron proteger a un chico indefenso atormentado por el tirano del colegio. Su acción marcó un cambio decisivo en sus vidas. Un cambio tan grande que tardarían 25 años en comprender su importancia... Ahora son adultos, con más problemas y más desilusiones, pero una vez al año se reúnen para cazar en los bosques de Maine. Este año un desconocido entra en su cabaña y, aturdido y confuso, balbucea que ha visto unas extrañas luces en el cielo. Y parece que no está equivocado... En poco tiempo los cuatro amigos se encuentran en medio de una lucha terrorífica contra seres de otro mundo. La única posibilidad de salvación radica en encontrar a aquel amigo del pasado, el que sabía cazar sueños y que también sabrá frustrar los sueños de los invasores... Una obra maestra del terror y una historia de ternura y amistad profunda. 

The final volume sees gunslinger Roland on a roller-coaster mix of exhilarating triumph and aching loss in his unrelenting quest to reach the dark tower. A journey which means he must leave his faithful friends Eddie, Susannah, Jake, even Oy, as he closes on the Tower. His steps are followed only by Mordred, half-human, half-terrifying creature heir to the Crimson King. In the end, it is an unlikely ally who will hold to key to the Tower itself, centre of all time and all place.

In the next part of their journey to the tower, Roland and his band of followers face adversity from every side: Susannah Dean has been taken over by a demon-mother and uses the power of Black Thirteen to get from the Mid-World New York City. But who is the father of her child? And what role will the Crimson King play?Roland sends Jake to break Susannah's date with destiny, while he himself uses 'the persistence of magic' to get to Maine in the Summer of 1977. It is a terrible world: for one thing it is real and bullets are flying. For another, it is inhabited by the author of a novel called SALEM'S LOT.SONG OF SUSANNAH is driven by revelation and by suspense. It continues THE DARK TOWER series seamlessly from WOLVES OF THE CALLA and the dramatic climax will leave readers desperate to read the quest's conclusion.

Todd Bowden is an apt pupil. Good grades, good family, a paper route. But he is about to meet a different kind of teacher: Mr. Dussander. Todd knows all about Dussander's darl past. The torture. The death. The decades-old manhunt Dussander has escaped to this day. Yet Todd doesn't want to turn him in. Todd wants to know more. Much more. He is about to learn the real meaning of power--and the seductive lure of evil. This acclaimed collection of four novellas by Stephen King also includes "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" (basis for the Academy Award nominated film The Shawshank Redemption), "The Body" (inspiration for the motion picture Stand By Me), and "The Breathing Method."

A retired Los Angeles homicide detective living in the rural Wisconsin hamlet of Tamarack, Jack Sawyer is called in to assist the local police chief in solving a gruesome series of murders that causes Jack to experience inexplicable waking nightmares and draws him back to the Territories and an encounter with his own hidden past, in the long-awaited sequel to The Talisman.

The master storyteller takes readers into his mind in this revealing blend of memoir and a practical view of the writer's craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have. With advice grounded in his vivid memories of childhood through his emergence as a writer, up through his near-fatal accident in 1999, King relates the daily process of practiced creativity that has guided him.

In THE GUNSLINGER, Stephen King introduces readers to one of his most enigmatic heroes, Roland of Gilead, the Last Gunslinger. He is a haunting figure, a loner, on a spellbinding journey into good and evil, in a desolate world which frighteningly echoes our own. In his first step towards the powerful and mysterious Dark Tower, Roland encounters an alluring woman named Alice, begins a friendship with Jake, a kid from New York, and faces an agonising choice between damnation and salvation as he pursues the Man in Black. Both grippingly realistic and eerily dreamlike, THE GUNSLINGER leaves readers eagerly awaiting the next chapter. And the Tower is closer
