## Description

<p><b>The No. 1 bestselling author's first classic collection of short stories which showcases the depths of his brilliant imagination.</b><br><br>A collection of tales to invade and paralyse the mind as the safe light of day is infiltrated by the shadows of the night.<br><br>As you read, the clutching fingers of terror brush lightly across the nape of the neck, reach round from behind to clutch and lock themselves, white-knuckled, around the throat.<br><br> This is the horror of ordinary people and everyday objects that become strangely altered; a world where nothing is ever quite what it seems, where the familiar and the friendly lure and deceive. A world where madness and blind panic become the only reality.<br><br>Stories include:<br>-Jerusalem's Lot<br>-Graveyard Shift<br>-Night Surf<br>-I Am the Doorway<br>-The Mangler<br>-The Boogeyman<br>-Gray Matter<br>-Battleground<br>-Trucks<br>-Sometimes They Come Back<br>-Strawberry Spring<br>-The Ledge<br>-The Lawnmower Man<br>-Quitters, Inc.<br>-I Know What You Need<br>-Children of the Corn<br>-The Last Rung on the Ladder<br>-The Man Who Loved Flowers<br>-One for the Road<br>-The Woman in the Room</p>
