The #1 New York Times bestseller--four chilling novellas from Stephen King that will "grab you and not let go" (The Washington Post). One Past Midnight "The Langoliers" takes a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Boston into a most unfriendly sky.

Alone, that is, until a figure named John Shooter arrives, pointing an accusing finger. Three Past Midnight: "The Library Policeman" is set in Junction City, Iowa, an unlikely place for evil to be hiding. But for small businessman Sam Peebles, who thinks he may be losing his mind, another enemy is hiding there as well--the truth. If he can find it in time, he might stand a chance.

Old Pop Merrill, Castle Rock's sharpest trader, aims to exploit it for profit, but this creature that shouldn't exist at all is a very dangerous investment.
