**The #1 _New York Times_ bestseller--a mesmerizing treasury of short stories by Stephen King.**

An eerie-looking child's toy harbors an unimaginable evil. A supermarket is unexpectedly the place where humanity makes its last stand against destruction. A trip to the attic becomes a journey to hell. An idyllic lake conceals a bottomless terror. And a desert island is the scene of the most frightening struggle for survival ever waged.

Featuring the short story "The Monkey" (now a major motion picture) and the novella "The Mist," which was both a feature film and television series, as well as many other haunting now classic tales, this magnificent collection is enduring and irresistible proof that Stephen King is a true master of the short story form.
