      Stephen King

      Horror With the heart of Stand By Me and the genius horror of Christine , MILE 81 is Stephen King unleashing his imagination as he drives past one of those road signs . . . At Mile 81 on the Maine Turnpike is a boarded up rest stop, a place where high school kids drink and get into the kind of trouble high school kids have always gotten into. It's the place where Pete Simmons goes when his older brother heads off to the gravel pit to play 'paratroopers over the side'. Pete, armed with only the magnifying glass he got for his tenth birthday, finds a discarded bottle of vodka in the boarded up burger shack and drinks enough to pass out. That's why he doesn't notice a freshly mud-spattered station wagon (which is strange because there hadn't been any rain in New England for over a week) which veers into the Mile 81 rest area, ignoring the sign that reads 'closed, no services'. The driver's door opens but nobody gets out . . .

    • De beproeving

      Stephen King

      Horror De beproeving (The Stand) is een van Stephen Kings meest gelezen apocalyptische verhalen. In deze bloedspannende thriller wordt de wereld geteisterd door een enorme plaag. De beproeving is een van Stephen Kings beroemdste romans en wordt tot een van de hoogtepunten binnen zijn oeuvre gerekend. Stephen Kings apocalyptische visie op een wereld getroffen door een grote plaag en verstrikt in een strijd tussen goed en kwaad is nog altijd even meeslepend – en angstaanjagend plausibel – als toen het boek voor het eerst werd gepubliceerd. Een patiënt ontsnapt uit een biologische testfaciliteit, niet wetende dat hij een gemuteerde stam van een dodelijke supergriep bij zich draagt. De ziekte vernietigt vrijwel de gehele beschaving op aarde. Steden liggen bezaaid met rottende lijken. Overal hangt een oorverdovende stilte. Een handjevol overlevenden blijft verbijsterd achter en moet op zoek naar een nieuwe leider. Er dienen zich twee kandidaten aan: Moeder Abagail, de goedgezinde 108-jarige

    • The Luminaries

      Eleanor Catton

      Fictie en literatuur WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2013 It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to make his fortune upon the New Zealand goldfields. On arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of twelve local men, who have met in secret to discuss a series of unsolved crimes. A wealthy man has vanished, a whore has tried to end her life, and an enormous fortune has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into the mystery: a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely patterned as the night sky. The Luminaries is an extraordinary piece of fiction. It is full of narrative, linguistic and psychological pleasures, and has a fiendishly clever and original structuring device. Written in pitch-perfect historical register, richly evoking a mid-19th century world of shipping and banking and goldrush boom and bust, it is also a ghost story, and a gripping mystery. It is a thrilling achievement and will confirm for critics and readers that Catton is one o

Soon they forge a deep bond, based on their fascination with simple experiments in electricity. Decades later, Jamie is living a nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll. Now an addict, he sees Jacobs again - a showman on stage, creating dazzling 'portraits in lightning' - and their meeting has profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil's devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings. This rich and disturbing novel spans five decades on its way to the most terrifying conclusion Stephen King has ever written. It's a masterpiece from King, in the great American tradition of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe.

    • The Canterville Ghost

      Oscar Wilde

      Horror The Canterville Ghost is a popular 1887 novella by Oscar Wilde, widely adapted for the screen and stage. "The Canterville Ghost" is a parody featuring a dramatic spirit named Sir Simon and the United States minister (ambassador) to the Court of St. James's, Hiram B. Otis. Mr. Otis travels to England with his family and moves into a haunted country house. Lord Canterville, the previous owner of the house, warns Mr. Otis that the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville has haunted it ever since he killed his wife, Eleonore, three centuries before. But Mr. Otis dismisses the ghost story as bunk and disregards Lord Canterville's warnings. When the Otises learn that the house is indeed haunted, they succeed in victimizing the ghost and in disregarding age-old British traditions. What emerges is a satire of American materialism, a lampoon of traditional British values, and an amusing twist on the traditional gothic horror tale.
