Abstract: "Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel.

Abstract: The Barnes family is in trouble. Dickie's once-lucrative car business is going under - but rather than face the music, he's spending his days in the woods, building an apocalypse-proof bunker with a renegade handyman. His wife Imelda is selling off her jewellery on eBay while their teenage daughter Cass, formerly top of her class, seems determined to binge-drink her way to her final exams. And twelve-year-old PJ is putting the final touches to his grand plan to run away from home. Where did it all go wrong? A patch of ice on the tarmac, a casual favour to a charming stranger, a bee caught beneath a bridal veil?

Abstract: Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms – but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation is starting to question the Priory's purpose. To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin. Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow – exactly where she wants to be. The dragons of the East have slept for centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to wake the gods from their long slumber. Now someone from her mother's past is coming to upend her fate. When the Dreadmount erupts, bringing with it an age of terror and violence, these women must find the strength to protect humankind from a devastating threat.

Abstract: Una ragazza tenace e coraggiosa. Un uomo oscuro e pieno di segreti. Una storia d'amore tormentata e proibita che in Francia ha scalato le classifiche e travolto il #booktook. Si può amare quando non si ha più un cuore? Giunta negli Stati Uniti dall'Australia dopo la morte della madre, Ella è costretta a condurre una vita che non vuole e a sacrificare se stessa per salvare la famiglia che le è rimasta. È così che finisce tra le grinfie di John, un uomo perfido e malvagio, che trasforma la sua esistenza in un incubo reale. Un giorno, però, per una serie di vicissitudini, Ella si ritrova a vivere con Ash, un ragazzo affascinante eppure estremamente pericoloso. Delinquente spietato e membro di una gang, Ash sembra detestare Ella con ogni fibra del suo essere, soprattutto quando la ragazza lo sfida con tutto il suo spirito combattivo. Eppure, più passa il tempo più l'attrazione tra i due cresce e minaccia di esplodere. E se Ella si accorgesse ben presto che colui che credeva essere un diavolo è un angelo pronto a rubarle persino l'anima?

Abstract: Demon's story begins with his traumatic birth to a single mother in a single-wide trailer, looking 'like a little blue prizefighter.' For the life ahead of him he would need all of that fighting spirit, along with buckets of charm, a quick wit, and some unexpected talents, legal and otherwise. In the southern Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, poverty isn't an idea, it's as natural as the grass grows. For a generation growing up in this world, at the heart of the modern opioid crisis, addiction isn't an abstraction, it's neighbours, parents, and friends. 'Family' could mean love, or reluctant foster care. For Demon, born on the wrong side of luck, the affection and safety he craves is as remote as the ocean he dreams of seeing one day.
