Cujo est un saint-bernard de cent kilos, le meilleur ami de Brett Camber, qui a dix ans. Un jour, Cujo chasse un lapin qui se réfugie dans une sorte de petite grotte souterraine habitée par des chauves-souris.
Ce qui va arriver à Cujo et à ceux qui auront le malheur de l'approcher constitue le sujet du roman le plus terrifiant que Stephen King ait jamais écrit. Brett et ses parents, leur voisin Vic Trenton et sa femme Donna, un couple en crise, Tad, leur petit garçon, en proie depuis des semaines à des terreurs nocturnes : tous vont être précipités dans un véritable typhon d'épouvante, un cauchemar nommé Cujo...
Publié il y a vingt-cinq ans, Cujo reste une des oeuvres majeures de Stephen King, et un classique de l'épouvante. -

One of the true classics of horror fiction, THE SHINING is regarded as one of Stephen King's masterpieces. Danny is only five years old, but in the words of old Mr Hallorann he is a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father becomes caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, Danny's visions grow out of control. As winter closes in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seems to develop a life of its own. It is meant to be empty. So who is the lady in Room 217 and who are the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why do the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive? Somewhere, somehow, there is an evil force in the hotel - and that, too, is beginning to shine . . .

When an eleven-year-old boy is found murdered in a town park, reliable eyewitnesses undeniably point to the town's popular Little League coach, Terry Maitland, as the culprit. DNA evidence and fingerprints confirm the crime was committed by this well-loved family man. Horrified by the brutal killing, Detective Ralph Anderson, whose own son was once coached by Maitland, orders the suspect to be arrested in a public spectacle. But Maitland has an alibi. And further research confirms he was indeed out of town that day. As Anderson and the District Attorney trace the clues, the investigation expands from Ohio to Texas. And as horrifying answers begin to emerge, so King's propulsive story of almost unbearable suspense kicks into high gear. Terry Maitland seems like a nice guy but there is one rock-hard fact, as unassailable as gravity: a man cannot be in two places at the same time. Can he?

Todd Bowden a tout du parfait petit Américain. Elève doué, sérieux à l'école, il se passionne pour une période dont il ignorait jusque-là l'horreur : l'Holocauste. Lorsqu'il rencontre un vieil homme en qui il reconnaît un ancien criminel de guerre, il voit l'occasion de satisfaire sa curiosité. Une relation ambiguë s'établit entre eux, dont on ne sait plus qui est le maître, qui est l'élève. Les voici désormais unis pour le meilleur et pour le pire... Porté à l'écran par Bryan Singer, le réalisateur de Usual Suspects, Un élève doué reste l'un des plus forts et des plus troublants récits de Stephen King.
