Now a major motion picture`Sometimes...dead is better`The house looks right, feels right to Dr Louis Creed. Rambling, old and comfortable. A place where the family can settle; the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seem a world away from the fume-choked dangers of the city.It`s only those big trucks on the road outside which growl out unnerving threats.Behind the house there`s a carefully cleared path up into the woods to a place where generations of local children walked in a procession with the solemn innocence of the young, taking with them their dear departed pets for burial.A sad place maybe, but safe. Surely a safe place. Not a place to seep into your dreams, to wake you, sweating with fear and foreboding...`King can make the flesh creep half a world away` - The Times`So beautifully paced that you cannot help but be pulled in` - Guardian`The most frightening novel Stephen King has ever written` - Publisher`s Weekly
