Summary of this Book... | ||
Stephen King is my favorite author, and this anthology of four of his chilling tales is one his best, in my opinion. It's one his first collections, but the stories are as fresh as they were when it was first published in 1990. 'The Langoliers' deals with an airplane getting sucked into a time warp where they land in an deserted world, except for some very unlikeable monsters. 'Secret Window, Secret Garden' is about an author named Mort Rainey, who has to deal with somebody who claims he stole his manuscript. But did he, or didn't he? 'The Library Policeman' is a fictional account of what might happen if you don't return your library books on time, and as always, Mr. King will not let you get off easy. 'The Sun Dog' has an odd take on a Polaroid camera with pictures that slowly develop, but unfortunately, they show a grim 'picture' of what lies ahead in the future. | ||
