Desperation

Stephen King, the world's bestselling author, that
you do not want to visit...because it's pure hell to live
there! In the desolate mining town of Desperation, Nevada,
there is something very wrong. The local lawman is besieged by
delusions of murderous grandeur, dead animals decorate the
landscape, and visitors are few and far between. But when an
unlucky group of travelers is waylaid in the desert anti-oasis,
the battle lines are drawn against an ancient and unholy evil,
determined to be born again!


Praise for DESPERATION: * "[DESPERATION is] astonishing...the
terror is relentless."--Publishers Weekly * "DESPERATION builds
to a climax reminiscent of THE STAND."--Washington Post Book
World * "A double dose of ghostly horror. DESPERATION is pure
King, a rollicking good tale skillfully told of repugnance and
godliness doing high-screech battle."--San Francisco Chronicle
