Nightmares and Dreamscapes by Stephen King

FIRST EDITION / FIRST PRINTING [1993] VIKING

Hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition. 

Dust jacket is excellent; light edge wear.  Now  housed in a brand new HD brodart mylar jacket protector.  

Book itself is very good.  Tightly bound with clean immaculate boards. 

*Text block has some faint foxing along top; and a few stains down the length of it.  Just barely visible on tips of 2 or 3 pages mid-book.  Otherwise excellent.

A solitary finger pokes out of a drain. Novelty teeth turn predatory. Flies settle and die on an old pair of sneakers in New York, and the Nevada desert swallows a Cadillac. Meanwhile the legend of Castle Rock returns... and grows on you. What does it all mean? What else could it mean? First there was Night Shift (1978), then Skeleton Crew (1985), and now Stephen King is back with a third collection of stories - a vast, many-chambered cave of a volume, with passages leading every which way to hell... and a few to glory.

The long reach of Stephen King's imagination and the no-holds-barred force of his storytelling have never been so richly demonstrated. There's something here for readers of every stripe and predilection - classic tales of the macabre and the monstrous, cutting-edge explorations of the borderlands between good and evil, brilliant pastiches of Chandler and Conan Doyle, even a teleplay and a non-fiction bonus, a heartfelt piece of Little League baseball that first appeared in The New Yorker.

In story after story, several published here for the first time, he will take you to places you've never been before, places that are both dark and vividly illuminated. Fair warning: You will lose a good deal of sleep. But Stephen King, writing to beat the devil, will do your dreaming for you.  Can you believe? Then come....  -  Bookshop Apocalypse
