Night Shift: INCLUDES THE STORY OF THE BOOGEYMAN SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM 20th CENTURY STUDIOS

Author(s): Stephen King

Short Stories

A collection of tales to invade and paralyse the mind as the safe light of day is infiltrated by the shadows of the night.


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. 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.
