A New York Times Bestseller
Thirteen relentless tales of supernatural suspense, including "In the
Tall Grass," one of two stories cowritten with Stephen King and the
basis for the terrifying feature film from Netflix.
A little door that opens to a world of fairy-tale wonders becomes the
blood-drenched stomping ground for a gang of hunters in "Faun." A
grief-stricken librarian climbs behind the wheel of an antique
Bookmobile to deliver fresh reads to the dead in "Late Returns."
In "By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain"--now an episode on Shudder
TV's *Creepshow--*two young friends stumble on the corpse of a
plesiosaur at the water's edge, a discovery that forces them to confront
the inescapable truth of their own mortality. And tension shimmers in
the sweltering heat of the Nevada desert as a faceless trucker finds
himself caught in a sinister dance with a tribe of motorcycle outlaws in
"Throttle," cowritten with Stephen King.
Replete with shocking chillers, including two previously unpublished
stories written expressly for this volume ("Mums" and "Late Returns")
and another appearing in print for the first time ("Dark Carousel"),
Full Throttle is a darkly imagined odyssey through the complexities of
the human psyche. Hypnotic and disquieting, it mines our tormented
secrets, hidden vulnerabilities, and basest fears, and demonstrates this
exceptional talent at his very best.
