In this eerie, enchanting compilation, King takes readers down a road less travelled (for good reason) in the blockbuster e-book “Riding the Bullet”; terror becomes deja vu all over again when you get “That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It is in French”; and LT has a theory about pets which will make you stop and think before giving one as a present to a loved one — along with eleven more stories that will keep you awake until dawn. Nothing is quite as it seems. Expect the unexpected in this veritable treasure trove of enthralling, witty, dark tales that could only come from the imagination of the greatest storyteller of our time.

This is James Clavell's tour-de-force; an epic saga of one Pilot-Major John Blackthorne, and his integration into the struggles and strife of feudal Japan. Both entertaining and incisive, «Shogun» is a stunningly dramatic re-creation of a very different world. Starting with his shipwreck on this most alien of shores, the novel charts Blackthorne's rise from the status of reviled foreigner up to the heights of trusted advisor and eventually, Samurai. All as civil war looms over the fragile country.

Imagine a Middle-Eastern country that was once a friend of the West becoming an enemy, its people starving and savagely repressed by a tyrant known as Great Uncle. As a celebrated writer and war hero, the man who here relates his story has a better life than most, until he is made an offer he can’t refuse. He must write a great novel, telling of the suffering of his people under the enemy’s cruel economic sanctions and portraying Great Uncle as their saviour. This masterpiece must be completed in time for its international debut in three months — or else. If the writer cannot — or will not — meet the tyrant’s deadline, he and anyone he cares for will pay the ultimate price. Stark, terrifying and utterly compelling, The Tyrant’s Novel is both a gripping thriller and a chilling glimpse of a fictional world that seems all too real.
