Night Shift

#1 BESTSELLER • A collection of bone-chilling, nail-biting tales from the undisputed master of horror that showcases the darkest depths of his brilliant imagination and will 'chill the cockles of many a heart' (Chicago Tribune).• INCLUDES THE STORY “THE BOOGEYMAN” – NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM 20th CENTURY STUDIOS

Originally published in 1978, Night Shift is the inspiration for over a dozen acclaimed horror movies and television series, including Children of the Corn, Chapelwaite, and Lawnmower Man.

Night Shift is Stephen King's first collection of short stories--a perfect showcase of just how far King's dark imagination can go. Here we see mutated rats gone bad ('Graveyard Shift'); a cataclysmic virus that threatens humanity ('Night Surf,' the basis for The Stand); a possessed, evil lawnmower ('The Lawnmower Man'); unsettling children from the heartland ('Children of the Corn'); a smoker who will try anything to stop ('Quitters, Inc.'); a reclusive alcoholic who begins a gruesome transformation ('Gray Matter'); and many more. This is Stephen King at his horrifying best.
