I's October Book Haul


The Bachman Book by Stephen King (Adlibris, online)

For years, readers wrote asking if Richard Bachman was really world-bestselling Stephen King writing under another name. Now the secret is out - and so, brought together in one volume, are these three spellbinding stories of future shock and suspense. The Long Walk: A chilling look at the ultra-conservative America of the future where a grueling 450-mile marathon is the ultimate sports competition. Roadwork: An immovable man refuses to surrender to the irresistible force of progress. The Running Man: TV's future-favourite game show, where contestants are hunted to death in the attempt to win a $1 billion jackpot.



Dreamcatcher by Stephen King (Ark, Gardemoen)

Once upon a time, in the haunted city of Derry, four boys stood together and did a brave thing. It was something that changed them in ways they could never begin to understand. Twenty-five years after saving a Down's-syndrome kid from bullies, Beav, Henry, Pete, and Jonesy -- now men with separate lives and separate problems -- reunite in the woods of Maine for their annual hunting trip. But when a stranger stumbles into their camp, disoriented and mumbling something about lights in the sky, chaos erupts. Soon, the four friends are plunged into a horrifying struggle with a creature from another world where their only chance of survival is locked in their shared past -- and in the Dreamcatcher. Never before has Stephen King contended so frankly with the heart of darkness.

Trigger Warning by Neil Gaiman (Norli, Gjøvik)

In this new volume, Neil Gaiman pierces the veil of reality to reveal the enigmatic, shadowy world that lies beneath. Trigger Warning includes previously published pieces of short fiction-stories, verse, and a very special Doctor Who story that was written for the fiftieth anniversary of the beloved series in 2013-as well as BLACK DOG, a new tale that revisits the world of American Gods. Trigger Warning is a rich cornucopia of horror and ghosts stories, science fiction and fairy tales, fabulism and poetry that explores the realm of experience and emotion.

Pal has a shameful secret that has dragged him into huge debt, much more than he can ever hope to pay back. 16-year-old Sandra also has a secret. She's in love with the impossibly charming delinquent Daniel William, and theirs is a bond so strong that not even her concerned parents can tear them apart. Cecilie has the biggest secret of them all - she is carrying a child, and she can only hope that her boyfriend Rudi is the child's father. Over three fateful September days, these lives cross in a whirlwind of brutality, laughter, tragedy and love that will change them forever.
