Four Past Midnight, the latest novel by master storyteller Stephen King, is an enthralling and unnerving thriller set against the surreal backdrop of a failed space mission. The NASA scientists aboard the spacecraft…gasp …four astronauts!…go through all of the motions of repairing their broken ship until suddenly, everything stops along with their hearts and brains. They wake up in an alien field hospital . . .two hundred years in the future! The crew must come to grips with the 20th century if they hope to get home alive.
Are you ready to venture into the most dangerous hours of the day, when the sun goes down and Black is the darkest color of night?—only to emerge at the dawning of a new day, when the lights return to reveal an all-new world? Welcome to Kingdom Come. One night, while driving through a downpour, high in the mountains of Maine, Jack and Trisha Brake discover an abandoned building that looks like it hasn’t been used in years. It’s the kind of place that draws the curious youth to it like a magnet to metal. They venture inside to investigate, and what they find is far more than meets the eye.
In his brilliant, deeply unsettling novel from 1977 featuring a terrifying new heroine and the author’s most ingenious invention yet, Stephen King takes us on a journey through five distinct worlds. At the stroke of midnight, an unexpected visitor pulls us into his world; four hours later there is a shift, a twist in the balance, and we are facing something we never expected: our own future selves.
Beginning soon after the tragic death of his wife, five-year-old Danny Torrance begins to experience frightening phenomena in his home and around the town. In Stephen King’s fifth masterwork, a world in which darkness and evil reign offers up an unforgettable cast of characters—from parents to monsters—who come together to fight evil before time runs out.
