Klappentext The number one New York Times best-selling author of The Fireman and Strange Weather returns with a dark and ingenious collection of 13 compelling short stories that showcase his ability to ?push genre conventions to new extremes?

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?, 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 other horrors that lurk in the water's shivery depths. 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. Featuring two previously unpublished stories and a brace of shocking chillers, Full Throttle is a darkly imagined odyssey through the complexities of the human psyche.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.
