Abstract: On the night her single mother is taken to a mental hospital after a psychotic episode, eight year-old Francie is staying with her babysitter, waiting to take the train to Los Angeles to go live with her aunt and uncle. There is a lovely lamp next to the couch on which she's sleeping, the shade adorned with butterflies. When she wakes, Francie spies a dead butterfly, exactly matching the ones on the lamp, floating in a glass of water. She drinks it before the babysitter can see. Twenty years later, Francie is compelled to make sense of that moment, and two other incidents -- her discovery of a desiccated beetle from a school paper, and a bouquet of dried roses from some curtains. Her recall is exact -- she is sure these things happened..

Abstract: Four brilliant new tales in If It Bleeds are sure to prove as iconic as their predecessors. Once again, King’s remarkable range is on full display. In the title story, reader favorite Holly Gibney must face her fears, and possibly another outsider—this time on her own. In “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone” an intergenerational friendship has a disturbing afterlife. “The Life of Chuck” explores, beautifully, how each of us contains multitudes. And in “Rat,” a struggling writer must contend with the darker side of ambition.

Abstract: Winter 1968: Showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform in a sell-out run at the Talk of the Town, 30 years after she shot to stardom in The Wizard of Oz. After working for 45 of her 47 years, she is exhausted – haunted by memories of a childhood lost to Hollywood and gripped by a desire to be back home with her kids. Will she have the strength to go on? Featuring some of her best-known songs, Judy celebrates the voice, the capacity for love, and the sheer pizzazz of "the world's greatest entertainer."

Abstract: Blindsided by her mother’s sudden death, and wrecked by a recent love affair, Casey Peabody has arrived in Massachusetts in the summer of 1997 without a plan. Her mail consists of wedding invitations and final notices from debt collectors. A former child golf prodigy, she now waits tables in Harvard Square and rents a tiny, moldy room at the side of a garage where she works on the novel she’s been writing for six years. At thirty-one, Casey is still clutching onto something nearly all her old friends have let go of: the determination to live a creative life. When she falls for two very different men at the same time, her world fractures even more. Casey’s fight to fulfill her creative ambitions and balance the conflicting demands of art and life is challenged in ways that push her to the brink.

Abstract: Dash and Lily were feeling closer than ever..it's just too bad they're now an ocean apart. After Dash gets accepted to Oxford University and Lily stays in New York to take care of her dogwalking business, the devoted couple are struggling to make a long distance relationship work. And when Dash breaks the news that he won't be coming home for Christmas, Lily makes a decision: if Dash can't come to her, she'll join him in London. It's a perfect romantic gesture..that spins out of Lily's control. Soon Dash and Lily are feeling more of a gap between them, even though they're in the same city. Will London bring them together again--or will it be their undoing?

Abstract: L'ascension du mont Everest, c'est le défi de Mallory. Du haut de ses quinze ans, elle ne craint ni le vide, ni le manque d'oxygène. Elle sait dans quoi elle s'est embarquée. Ou croit le savoir. 8 848 mètres. Le toit du monde. Deux mois de prépartion sur les flancs de Qomolangma, la "déesse des neiges", pour cinq minutes au sommet, dans la zone de la mort". Au pied de la montagne, Mallory est loin d'imaginer tout ce qui l'attends. Un peuple à la culture fascinante, des tonnes d'ordures, les glaciers qui fondent et reculent. L'Everest est bien plus qu'un trophée à conquérir.
