His time is at hand. His empire grows in the west and the Apocalypse looms.
When a man crashes his car into a petrol station,he brings with him the foul corpses of his wife and daughter. He dies and it doesn't take long for the plague which killed him to spread across America and the world.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'A writer of excellence...King is one of the most fertile storytellers of the modern novel'- TheSunday Times
'King is the greatest popular novelist of our day,comparable to Dickens'. - Toby Litt, The Guardian
Stephen King
We celebrate the author known to many as the father of modern horror. For a generation of readers,Stephen King is the voice of the underbelly of small-town America,having made his name as the author of cult classics (with an equally strong legacy of film adaptations) including Carrie,The Shining,The Green Mile,The Stand,Pet Sematary,IT,Under the DomeandThe Tommyknockers. If there's an author who knows how to mine the dark recesses of the human imagination,it's King.
