Описание:
By her own account she's an old Yankee bitch, Dolores Claiborne: foul temper, foul mouth, foul life. Folks on Little Tall Island have been waiting thirty years to find out just what happened on the eerie dark day her husband, Joe, died — the day of the total eclipse. The police want to know what happened yesterday, when rich, bedridden Vera Donovan, the island's grande dame sans merci and Dolores's longtime employer, died suddenly in her care. With no choice but to talk, Dolores Claiborne talks up a storm. Everything I did, I did for love, she says, and this spellbinding novel is at once her confession and her defense. Given a voice as compelling as any in contemporary fiction, her story centers on a disintegrating marriage's molten core, where the mind's unblinking eye becomes huge with hate and a woman's heart turns murderous. It unfolds the strange intimacy between Dolores and Vera, and the link that binds them. It shows, finally, how fierce love can be, and how dreadful its consequences. And how the soul, harrowed by the hardest life, can achieve a kind of grace.

Описание:
Needful Things was fantastic. I'm sorry I haven't read any other Stephen King books — this is the first Stephen King novel I've ever read, not counting On Writing. Although labeled as a horror writer, Stephen King goes beyond giving his readers goose bumps. Beyond the blood and gore lie very human stories of love, hate — and redemption

This is the story of Rose Daniels, «the most richly portrayed female King's ever created» («Detroit Free Press»). Escape from her macabre marriage is not as easy as fleeing to a new city, picking a new name, finding a new job, and lucking out with a new man. Not with a husband like Norman...

Описание:
In 1978, Stephen King published The Stand, the novel that is now considered one of his finest works. But as it was first published, The Stand was incomplete, because more than 150000 words had been cut from the original manuscript. Since then, Stephen King's apocalyptic vision has been restored to its entirety. The Stand: The Complete & Uncut Edition includes more than 500 pages of material deleted, along with material that King added as he reworded the manuscript for its next generation of fans. New characters were introduced and familiar ones endowed with new depths. Both the beginning and ending were changed. What emerged was a gripping work with the scope and moral complexity of a true epic. For the hundreds of thousands of fans who read The Stand in its original version and wanted more, this complete and uncut edition is Stephen King's gift. And those who are reading The Stand for the first time will discover a triumphant and eerily plausible work of the imagination that takes on the issues that will determine our survival.
