'Under any name King mesmerizes the reader' Chicago Sun-Times
It's all coming to an end for Barton Dawes. The city's Highway 784 extension is in the process of being constructed right across town and inexorably through every aspect of Bart's existence - whether it's about to barrel over the laundry plant where he makes a living, or soon to smash through the very home where he makes a life.

As a result, something's been happening inside Bart's head that a heartless local bureaucracy isn't prepared for . . .

As the wheels of progress and a demolition crew continue unabated throughout Bart's neighbourhood, he's not about to give everything up without a fight. As a matter of fact, he's ready and waiting to ignite an explosive confrontation with the legislative forces gathered against him.

STEPHEN KING is the author of more than seventy books, all of them worldwide bestsellers. During the years 1966-1973, just before he published the seminal masterpiece Carrie, Stephen King wrote under two names. Under his pseudonym Richard Bachman, King wrote horror stories for magazines, followed by a series of novels, first published in the early 80s in the collection The Bachman Books. It was on publication of his next novel Thinner that people realised the author was in fact Stephen King. King's recent bestsellers include Fairy Tale, Billy Summers, If It Bleeds and The Institute. Many of his titles are the basis for major motion pictures, TV series and streamed events, including IT, Stand By Me and The Shawshank Redemption, which is IMDb's top-rated movie of all time. King is the recipient of the 2020 Audio Publishers Association Lifetime Achievement Award, the 2018 PEN America Literary Service Award, the 2014 National Medal of Arts, and the 2003 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He lives in Maine with his wife, novelist Tabitha King.
