    Holly
    • Holly Gibney, a resourceful character from Stephen King's previous works, returns to confront the chilling truth behind multiple disappearances in a midwestern town. Initially a shy recluse, Holly has evolved into a savvy private detective. In this new narrative, she faces a daunting challenge alone when Penny Dahl reaches out to the Finders Keepers detective agency for help in locating her missing daughter. Despite her reluctance—due to her partner's illness, her mother's recent death, and her planned leave—Holly cannot ignore Penny's desperate plea. The investigation leads her to Professors Rodney and Emily Harris, seemingly respectable octogenarians living just blocks from where Bonnie Dahl vanished. However, beneath their polished exterior lies a dark secret hidden in their basement, potentially linked to the disappearance. The professors are cunning, patient, and ruthless, making it nearly impossible for Holly to uncover their sinister activities. As she delves deeper into the mystery, Holly must leverage all her skills to outsmart the twisted professors in this gripping tale, showcasing her determination and resilience in the face of evil.

    • Un matin d'automne, la petite ville de Chester Mill, dans le Maine, est inexplicablement et brutalement isolée du reste du monde par un champ de force invisible. Personne ne comprend ce qu'est ce dôme transparent, d'où il vient et quand - ou si - il partira. L'armée semble impuissante à ouvrir un passage tandis que les ressources à l'intérieur de Chester Mill se raréfient. Jim Rennie, premier adjoint de Chester Mill, voit tout de suite le bénéfice qu'il peut tirer de la situation, lui qui a toujours rêvé de mettre la ville sous sa coupe. Un nouvel ordre social régi par la terreur s'installe et la résistance s'organise autour de Dale Barbara, vétéran d'Irak et chef cuistot fraîchement débarqué en ville.

If awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed, the women become feral and spectacularly violent ... In the small town of Dooling, West Virginia, the virus is spreading through a women's prison, affecting all the inmates except one. Soon, word spreads about the mysterious Evie, who seems able to sleep, and wake. Is she a medical anomaly or a demon to be slain? The abandoned men, left to their increasingly primal devices, are fighting each other, while Dooling's Sheriff, Lila Norcross, is just fighting to stay awake. And the sleeping women are about to open their eyes to a new world altogether ...
