The Woman in the Room

Flap

Stephen King has brought together nineteen of his most unsettline short pieces--bizarre tales of dark doing and unthinkable acts from the twilight regions where horror and madness take on errie, unearthly forms...where noises in the walls and shadows by the bed are always signs of something dreadful on the prowl.

The settings are familiar and unsuspected--a high school, a factory, a truck stop, a laundry, a field of Nebraska corn. But in Stephen King's world any place can serve as devil's ground...if the time of night is propitious, and the forces of darkness are strong, and the victims are caught just slightly off their guard...
