In a bumper collection of truly chilling tales, we meet Gramma — who only wanted to hug little George, even after she was dead; The Raft — a primeval sea creature with an insatiable appetite; The Monkey — an innocent-looking toy with sinister powers; the unspeakable horror of The Mist. And there is a gruesome host of other stories, each with the distinctive blend of unimaginable terror and realism that typifies King's writing.
