Storm of the Century

Stephen King presents a screenplay adaptation of his chilling tale, written expressly for the television screen. This edition captures the narrative of Little Tall Island, where residents face a Nor'easter unlike any they have seen before. The storm brings hurricane-force winds and up to five feet of snow, but it also delivers something worse that no one wants to see. The story begins with Martha Clarendon suffering an unspeakably violent death as the first flakes fall. Andre Linoge, holding a cane topped with a silver wolf's head, waits calmly in her easy chair. He knows the townsfolk will come to arrest him and allows them to do so. His goal is singular and terrifying. Linoge meets Constable Mike Anderson, his wife, his child, and the rest of the tight-knit community. He makes one simple proposition to them all: if they give him what he wants, he will go away. This volume includes eight pages of photos from the production. It suits fans of psychological fiction and supernatural drama who appreciate King’s mastery of suspense. Readers seeking traditional novels may find this format distinct.
