Skupinka priateľov, ktorí v Derry vyrástli, dnes žije roztrúsená vo všetkých kútoch sveta. Sú bohatí, úspešní aj slávni, ale nie sú šťastní.

Ale dnes už nie sú deťmi a niečo podstatné, čo im kedysi pomohlo zahnať To, im chýba.

Thad Beaumont čelí nočnej more v podobe Georgea Starka, ktorý sa oznamuje čudným zvukom — hlasom tisícov čvirikajúcich vrabcov. Thad, úspešný autor kriminálnych románov, písal pod pseudonymom George Stark, ktorý sa stal takmer samostatnou postavou, reprezentujúcou jeho „horšie ja“. Po prekonaní životnej krízy a šťastnom rodičovstve sa Thad rozhodne zbaviť Starka. Na pohrebe v Castle Rock však pozostalí oslavujú, že sa zbavili nepríjemného príbuzného, no Stark sa len tak ľahko nevzdáva. V Castle Rock je brutálne zavraždený vojnový invalid Homer Gamache a v jeho aute polícia nájde Thadove odtlačky. Našťastie má Thad alibi, no sériou ďalších vrážd v New Yorku a Washingtone sa jeho meno stále objavuje. Vyšetruje to šerif Pangborn, ktorý postupne stráca podozrenie voči Thadovi, no ocitá sa v chaose, ktorý nedokáže vysvetliť. George Stark, ako neľútostný zabijak, ničí všetkých, ktorí stoja medzi ním a Thadom. Thad mobilizuje všetky sily, aby ochránil rodinu a seba, zatiaľ čo sa nad jazerom Castle Lake objavujú sprievodcovia živých mŕtvol. Kto si prišiel po pomoc a koho si vyžiadali? Tento príbeh je hrôzostrašným odrazom zneužitia daru a pohľadu na temné hlbiny podvedomia.

Zostali po nich len cennosti a zubné protézy pohádzané na zemi, v pilotnej kabínke nikto nie je a ešte taká drobnosť: stále letíte. Čo sa stalo? 2.Tajné okno, tajná záhrada /Secret Window,Secret Garden/- Úspešný spisovateľ trpí umeleckým blokom a keď mu na dvere zabúši šialenec z Mississippi, John Shooter, nastáva nová etapa v jeho živote.

One rainy morning Commissario Brunetti and Ispettore Vianello respond to a 911 call reporting a body floating near some steps on the Grand Canal. Reaching down to pull it out, Brunetti's wrist is caught by the silkiness of golden hair, and he sees a small foot - together he and Vianello lift a dead girl from the water. But, inconceivably, no one has reported a missing child, nor the theft of the gold jewellery that she carries. Brunetti is drawn into a search not only for the cause of her death but also for her identity, her family, and for the secrets that people will keep in order to protect their children - be they innocent or guilty. From the canals and palazzos of Venice to a Gypsy encampment on the mainland, Brunetti struggles with institutional prejudice and entrenched criminality to try to unravel the fate of the dead child.

Twenty-five years after saving a Down's-syndrome kid from bullies, Beav, Henry, Pete, and Jonesy -- now men with separate lives and separate problems -- reunite in the woods of Maine for their annual hunting trip. But when a stranger stumbles into their camp, disoriented and mumbling something about lights in the sky, chaos erupts. Soon, the four friends are plunged into a horrifying struggle with a creature from another world where their only chance of survival is locked in their shared past -- and in the Dreamcatcher. Never before has Stephen King contended so frankly with the heart of darkness. Dreamcatcher, his first full-length novel since Bag of Bones, is a powerful story of astonishing range that will satisfy fans both new and old.
