Dreamcatcher »

Few authors have tapped into our secret fears as adeptly as Stephen King, Master of the Macabre and one of the most widely read novelists writing today. With his trademark blend of fantasy, horror, and psychological suspense, this prolific and immensely popular contemporary writer continues to remind us that evil is still a potent force in the world.

Once upon a time, in the haunted city of Derry, four boys did a brave thing -- a good thing -- perhaps even a great thing. Twenty-five years later, the boys are now men. Each hunting season the four reunite in Maine. This year, these men will be plunged into a horrifying struggle with a creature from another world.

King supplies enough spooky effects and space aliens to meet his usual quota of weird frissons . . . But beneath all that, there is also a new urgency. . . . It makes for great midnight reading.
