I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger...' writes Wilfred Leland James in the early pages of the riveting confession that makes up '1922', the first in this pitch-black quartet of mesmerising tales from Stephen King, linked by the theme of retribution. For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife Arlette proposes selling off the family homestead & moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder & madness. In ' Big Driver', a cozy-mystery writer named Tess encounters the stranger is along a back road in Massachusetts when she takes a shortcut home after a book-club engagement. Violated & left for dead, Tess plots a revenge that will bring her face to face with another stranger: the one inside herself. ' Fair Extension', the shortest of these tales, is perhaps the nastiest & certainly the funniest. Making a deal with the devil not only saves Dave Streeter from a fatal cancer but provides rich recompense for a lifetime of resentment. When her husband of more than twenty years is away on one of his business trips, Darcy Anderson looks for batteries in the garage. Her toe knocks up against a box under a worktable & she discovers the stranger inside her husb&. It's a horrifying discovery, rendered with bristling intensity, & it definitively ends 'A Good Marriage'. Like DIFFERENT SEASONS & FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT, which generated such enduring hit films as The Shawshank Redemption & Stand by Me, FULL DARK, NO STARS proves Stephen King a master of the long story form. This book has 368 pages & is 24cm x 16cm x 3.2cm ...

Details: In October 2009 Ellen MacArthur, one of the greatest sportswomen in the world, announced her retirement from competitive sailing. Many were in disbelief. How could the woman who had fought so hard to set so many records give up racing? But Ellen had found an even tougher challenge than sailing solo round the globe. Now Ellen is ready to write about her incredible last ten years, including the trip which changed her life. She speaks honestly about the trials of fame after coming second in the Vendee Globe in 2001; about her frustrations in missing the record for the West-East transatlantic crossing by just 75 minutes in 2004; the dramatic capsize and dismasting she experienced prior to her record attempt, and then the ultimate triumph of her spectacular, record-breaking,
non-stop solo circumnavigation of the globe in 2004-5, sharing every painful and exciting moment of her 71 days alone at sea. And of course she tells of the fateful trip to South Georgia in 2005 which caused her to decide to leave competitive sailing behind for ever and focus all her ambition and energy towards a new and much bigger race... Ellen's searingly honest story is a story of triumph over incredible adversity and will inspire others to follow in this remarkable woman's wake. Ideal for: Fans and followers of Ellen MacArthur and anyone with an interest is sailing. This hardback book has 399 ages and measures: 24 x 16 x 3.8cm
