Stephen King Collection 4 Books Set (Pet Sematary, The Shining, It, Doctor Sleep)

Product Information

This one has been called one of the “lighter” collections in King’s repertoire. This is perhaps because many of the stories provoke a sense of unease more than actual terror. But, as we all know, a deep sense of anxiety can stay with you much longer than an intensely frightening moment. The book’s most popular entry is “1408” — a story about a non-fiction writer who writes about the supernatural, despite not believing in it. Now, room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel is on a mission to prove him wrong in a fantastic meta take on the classic ghost story.

Night Shift is the first book for which King wrote a foreword. The introduction was written by one of King's favorite authors, John D. MacDonald. MacDonald writes that "Stephen King is a far, far better writer at thirty than I was at thirty, or at forty. I am entitled to hate him a little bit for this." He adds, "I will say that I do not give a diddly-whoop what Stephen King chooses as an area in which to write. The fact that he presently enjoys writing in the field of spooks and spells and slitherings in the cellar is to me the least interesting fact about the man anyone can relate", predicting that "Stephen King is not going to restrict himself to his present area of intense interest."

Coming Soon

One of the most spectacular additions to the collection of Stephen King’s first edition books is The Devil’s Wine, which features poetry by King, among other writers. It is leather-bound and kept in a slipcase, with an art portfolio included. This book is one of thirty copies, making it an especially rare find for a literature lover and particularly important among the collection of first editions. Begin in the late seventies, King’s series The Dark Tower tells the story of Roland Deschain, the world’s last gunslinger in the fantasy post-apocalyptic Mid-World. The series, which stretched over eight novels and took four decades to write, is widely regarded as amongst his best work. Jumping from horror genre to horror genre, incorporating a gamut of scary tropes, and inspired by a number of King’s favorite authors, Nightmares and Dreamscapes is a funhouse of a horror novel — in fact, it doesn’t take much effort to picture a real funhouse at an old-timey fair boasting this very title atop its unsettling doors. It’s said to be one of his stranger collections, and one doesn’t have to look much further than the freaky "Chattery Teeth" to be convinced: it’s a story about a pair of killer joke teeth on the hunt for blood.
