From the author of THE SHINING, CARRIE and THE DEAD ZONE, this is Stephen King's most mesmerizing and menacing novel yet...It is the story of a sinister government agency, a fteful drug experiment, and a pigtailed girl named Charlie, who has an unimaginably terrifying gift. As PLAYBOY said, 'King does this better than anyone else. We finished the book about three non-stop hours after we picked it up.
