      Imaginez une brume qui s'abat soudainement sur une petite ville, une brume si épaisse que les clients d'un supermarché hésitent à en ressortir. Il n'en faut pas davantage au maître de l'épouvante pour nous plonger dans le cauchemar avec un réalisme hallucinant. Chacune des nouvelles de ce volume possède le même pouvoir ensorcelant. Vous serez terrifié par un petit singe en peluche qui joue des cymbales. Vous redouterez de voir surgir le fantôme d'un... camion. Vous saurez de quoi est capable un naufragé solitaire, lorsque la faim le tenaille et que la drogue décuple son courage. L'art de faire surgir l'effrayant ou le surnaturel au cœur d'un monde rassurant et prosaïque... Les superbes décors du Maine, où vit Stephen King, se révèlent une fois encore peuplés de sortilèges et de malédictions.

    • A must-read for fans of Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fryand Maria Semple's Where'd You Go, Bernadette Heartbreaking and hilarious in equal measure, by the author of the New York Times bestselling phenomenon A Man Called Ove will charm and delight anyone who has ever had a grandmother. Everyone remembers the smell of their grandmother's house. Everyone remembers the stories their grandmother told them. But does everyone remember their grandmother flirting with policemen? Driving illegally? Breaking into a zoo in the middle of the night? Firing a paintball gun from a balcony in her dressing gown? Seven-year-old Elsa does. Some might call Elsa's granny 'eccentric', or even 'crazy'. Elsa calls her a superhero. And granny's stories, of knights and princesses and dragons and castles, are her superpower. Because, as Elsa is starting to learn, heroes and villains don't always exist in imaginary kingdoms; they could live just down the hallway. As Christmas draws near, even the best superhero grandmothers may have one or two things they'd like to apologise for. And, in the process, Elsa can have some breath-taking adventures of her own . . .
