Selected Works: The Shining (#1) + 'Salem's Lot + Carrie by Stephen King

Stephen King's unerring gift for macabre and nightmarish realism have established him, in his early thirties, as one of the most remarkable of contemporary bestselling thriller writers.

The Shining
This masterpiece of modern horror builds relentlessly to its chilling and unforgettable climax, as five-year-old Danny's phenomenal psychic powers unleash an evil force of superhuman ferocity which has lain captive and dormant for many years in an old hotel.

'Salem's Lot
Thousands of miles away from the township, two frightened people share the unspeakable secrets of 'Salem's Lot. Both are haunted by the horrors they have witnessed, both know and dread the fact that they must return--to confront a diabolical evil more dreadful even than death.

Carrie 
Unknown to the other inhabitants of her quiet New England  home town, Carrie White possesses an extraordinary and dangerous gift. One night she decides to exercise her power, exacting a horrific revenge on those who have mocked and humiliated her. The resulting destruction is stunning and macabre--a ghastly vision of hell on earth.
