Description:
London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1996. First UK edition. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. First UK impression. Very good in very good unclipped dustjacket. Slight creasing to top and bottom of dj. No markings or inscriptions. From the DJ blurb: "Welcome to Desperation. A place beyond your wildest imaginings. Where the unbelievable can become reality... Desperation: a small town in the middle of the Nevada desert. It looks hauntingly familiar with it's signs to the Desperation Coffee Shop and Video Spot. Just off the loneliest highway in America, it should be a refuge in a wasteland. But there's something missing. The once thriving copper mining town now seems eerily empty. Almost abandoned. Except for a few desert animals - snake, coyote, buzzard. And of course the local cop patrolling the wilderness road - Desperation's unique regulator. Headed down Highway 50 are travellers who are never going to reach their destinations. Like the Jacksons, a young professor and his wife going home…

London: Hodder & Stoughton, 2010. First UK edition, Second printing. Hardcover. As New/as new. Tight white pages. Mint condition in mint jacket. No Inscriptions. From the DJ blurb: I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger... writes Wilfred Leland James in the early pages of the riveting murder confession that makes up 1922, the first in this pitch-black quartet of mesmerizing tales from Stephen King, linked by the theme of retribution. For country-loving James, that stranger is awakened when his wife proposes selling off the family farm in isolated rural Nebraska and moving to the city of Omaha... In Big Driver, a cozy-mystery writer named Tess encounters a stranger along a back road in Massachusetts when she takes a shortcut home after a book-club engagement. Violated and left for dead, Tess draws on her skills as a crime writer to plot a revenge that will bring her face to face with another stranger: the one inside herself.…

Scuff down right hand edge of front cover of DJ. Some slight bumping to top and bottom of DJ. No inscriptions. From the DJ blurb: "When Thad Beaumont wakes to the nightmare of George Stark, he hears birds, thousands of them, all cheeping and twittering at the same time, and with the sound comes a presentiment full of memory and foreboding: The sparrows are flying again. Thad Beaumont is a writer, and for a dozen years he secretly published novels under the name of George Stark because he was no longer able to write under his own name. He even invented a slightly sinister author biography to satisfy the many fans of Starks violent bestsellers. But Thad is a healthier and happier man now, the father of infant twins, and starting to write as himself again. He no longer needs George Stark, and in…

London: Harpercollins Publishers Ltd, 2007. First UK edition. Hardcover. As New/as new. First impression. Purchased new and stored in dark since. Unclipped. From the dj blurb: "After a hard day's work Tim Carrier slakes his thirst at the Lamplighter Tavern, a friendly workingman's bar. But how could Tim have imagined that the stranger who sits down next to him one evening is about to enmesh him in a web of murder and deceit? The man has come there to meet someone and he think's it's Tim. Tim's wayward sense of humour lets the misconception stand for a moment and that's all it takes: the stranger hands Tim a fat manilla envelope, saying, 'Halfof it's there; the rest when she's gone,' and then he's out the door. In the envelope Tim finds a photograph of a woman, her name and address written on the back; and several thick packets of hundred-dollar bills. When an intense-looking man sits down where the first stanger sat and glances at the manilla…

Hes only fourteen years old... Billy is a sadistic killer and proud of it. Hes in the secure wing of the state hospital but he seems too wise for his age, not crazy, too knowing. About the nature of evil, and whether it lives on beyond death. Too knowing about other crimes that took place before he was born... Other murders from twenty years ago surface in the mind of Detective John Calvino as he interviews young Billy Lucas. Calvino carries away a signed confession... and a sense of great danger. That night he feels that somehow Billy has come home with him, to his family. Over the next weeks, this haunted feeling does not go away. It only gets worse. Then another killing spree happens, just as and when John Calvino dreaded it would. Billy is safely locked away, but not the ghost,…

London: Headline Feature, 2000. First printing. Hardcover. Fine/very good +. Fine book in Very Good+ dust jacket. Crease to DJ on spine. No inscriptions. From the DJ blurb: "Bartholomew Lampion is blinded at the age of three, when surgeons reluctantly remove his eyes to save him from a fast-spreading cancer, but although eyeless, Barty regains his sight when he is thirteen. This sudden ascent from a decade of darkness into the glory of light is not brought about by the hands of a holy healer. No celestial trumpets announce the restoration of his vision, just as none had announced his birth. A rollercoaster has something to do with his recovery, as does a seagull. And you cant discount the importance of Bartys profound desire to make his mother proud of him before she dies. The first time she died was the day Barty was born. January 6, 1965. Dean Koontz is unique among contemporary writers, venturing far beyond traditional boundaries…

Description:
New York: Putnam, 1992. First American edition. Fine/very good +. First impression. Tight white pages. Some light scuffing to lettering on unclipped dj, otherwise fine. From the DJ blurb: "In his most profoundly felt - and terrifying - novel yet, Dean Koontz compels us to explore the meaning of death, the nature of sociopathic evil, and the transcendent power of love. ... Hideaway has the breathless pace, suspense, lyrical prose, deeply drawn characters, and surprises that readers have come to expect in a Koontz novel - yet it is entirely fresh, breaking new ground for the author and taking the reader into the beating heart of darkness. Although accident victim Hatch Harrison dies en route to the hospital, a brilliant physician miraculously resuscitates him. Given this second chance, Hatch and his wife, Lindsey, approach each day with a new appreciation for the beauty of life - until a series of mysterious and frightening events brings them face to face with the unknown. Although Hatch was…
