Now with a stunning new cover look, comes a 'supreme page turner . . . and a plot that will keep you awake at night' (GQ) from the ultimate storyteller.

You'll lose a lot of sleep.

Ralph does. After his wife dies, he starts waking up earlier. And earlier. Then he starts to observe some strange things going on in the small town of Derry, Maine - auras, coloured ribbons streaming from people's heads, and two little men wandering about after dark.

That's when Ralph begins to lose a lot more than sleep. He realises that his hitherto mild-mannered friend, Ed, is getting dangerously out of control. And now he is terrified that his home town is about to become the new Armageddon . . .

Hodder are boosting Stephen King's backlist with new covers, new author brand lettering and a marketing campaign which directs readers to the right King title for them.
