Vintage King: a pleasure for his many fans and not a bad place to start if you’re new to him. The master of supernatural disaster returns with four horror-laced novellas. The protagonist of the title story, Holly Gibney, is by King’s own admission one of his most beloved characters, a “quirky walk-on” who quickly found herself at the center of some very unpleasant goings-on in End of Watch, Mr. Mercedes, and The Outsider.

My earliest reading memory I was five years old, in our third floor apartment in Stratford, Connecticut. The book was The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins by Dr Seuss. My favourite book growing up Probably And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. It is the perfect whodunnit. The book that changed me as a teenager Lord of the Flies by William Golding. I was totally invested, totally there. You know the way kids were about Harry Potter at the height of the craze? That was me with Ralph and Jack.
