"King said this was his masterpiece. The dual narrative follows a group of outcast kids in the 50s and weary adults in the 80s as they strive to confront the horror known as "IT". Truly frightening."
"Barker exploded onto the horror scene in the mid-80s with his operatic style of body horror. This is one of his very best. A streamlined story of monsters and monster-hunters - but which is which?"
"Before vampires went all sparkly, there was Anne Rice. She singlehandedly reinvented the vampire genre with this brilliant trilogy of books. Atmospheric and existential horror at its best."
"This sci-fi horror from one of the true twentieth-century masters of the genre was made into one very good and two so-so films. But the book beats them all hands down. Paranoid, suspenseful, great."
"Filmed twice, once brilliantly, once terribly, this is a pulse-pounding psychological ghost story inwhich the entire house is the ghost! A must-read for horror fans."
""A tiger tank of a book" says Stephen King. This is a terrifyingly subtle collection of every ghost story you can imagine in one novel. Once read, never forgotten."
"Bradbury's only fully-fledged horror anthology, and what a classic it is! Unforgettable, beautiful stories set in a land where even the wind can turn deadly."
"If you've never read King's short fiction, this is a must. From the genuinely scary "One for the Road" to the bizarre "The Mangler" or the thrilling "Quitters, Inc". Every one is a gem."
"Herbert's "Rats" trilogy comes to a fantastic climax in this chillling version of the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust that pits human survivors against mutated rats. Unputdownable!"
