by Stephen King
<p><b>Soon to be a major motion picture from Paramount Pictures starring John Lithgow, Jason Clarke, and Amy Seimetz! King's iconic, beloved classic is 'so beautifully paced that you cannot help but be pulled in' <i>Guardian</i></b><br> <br> 'SOMETIMES...DEAD IS BETTER'<br> <br> The house looked right, felt right to Dr Louis Creed.<br> <br> Rambling, old, unsmart and comfortable. A place where the family could settle; the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seemed a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago.<br> <br> Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway, grinding up through the gears, hammering down the long gradients, growled out an intrusive threat.<br> <br> But behind the house and far away from the road: that was safe. Just a carefully cleared path up into the woods where generations of local children have processed with the solemn innocence of the young, taking with them their dear departed pets for burial.<br> <br> A sad place maybe, but safe. Surely a safe place. Not a place to seep into your dreams, to wake you, sweating with fear and foreboding.<br> <br> 'King can make the flesh creep half a world away' - <i>The Times</i><br> 'So beautifully paced that you cannot help but be pulled in' - <i>Guardian</i><br> 'The most frightening novel Stephen King has ever written' - <i>Publisher's Weekly</i><br> 'Wild, powerful, disturbing' - <i>Washington Post Book Review</i></p>
