Stephen King omnibus - Stephen King

DIFFERENT SEASONS comprises four spine-chilling stories by the grand master of the supernatural, stories with an interlacing of horror that capture the every-growing dark corners of our century. Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: a compulsive and bizarre story of unjust imprisonment and escape. Apt Pupil: a golden schoolboy and an old man with a hideous past join in a dreadful union. The Body: four young boys venture into the woods and find life, death... and the end of innocence. The Breathing Method: a macabre story told in a strange club of a woman determined to give birth - no matter what.

SKELETON CREW: Is another bumper collection of truly chilling tales, 23 in all and representing tremendous value.

Stephen King was born in Portland Maine in 1947. It was the publication of his first novel CARRIE and its subsequent film adaptation that set him on his way to his present position as perhaps the bestselling author in the world.
