Kingdom Come

 

It’s been a signal year for Stephen King followers as we had the release of his Crime Thriller NEVER FLINCH featuring Holly Gibney….

…..though the undisputed master of the horror genre, after this latest release perhaps Stephen King will be anointed the king of crime fiction. Never Flinch features the return of Private Investigator Holly Gibney, tasked to bodyguard the controversial feminist speaker Kate McKay. It seems McKay is being stalked by a deranged brother [and sister] duo from a radical religious sect intent on disrupting her promotional book tour….

And earlier this year we were treated to Osgood R. Perkin’s re-working of King’s creepy story THE MONKEY which has its roots in W.W. Jacob’s 1902 classic The Monkey’s Paw – and last fall’s remake of the Tobe Hooper’s Salem’s Lot miniseries [which hit British Cinemas].

But next week sees the release of The End of the World As We Know It an original short story anthology based on master storyteller Stephen King's #1 international bestselling classic The Stand.

Stephen King has fully authorised a return to the harrowing world of The Stand through this original short story anthology as presented by award-winning authors and editors Christopher Golden and Brian Keene.

Contributors Tim Lebbon and V Castro are delighted to be sharing their stories at the official UK launch, in conversation with Sarah Maria Griffin on Tuesday 19 August at Forbidden Planet London Megastore, 179 Shaftesbury Avenue London WC2H 8JR – the signing starts at 1730 hours – for more details and tickets – Click HERE
