A New York Times Bestseller Thirteen relentless tales of supernatural suspense, including “In the Tall Grass,” one of two stories cowritten with Stephen King and the basis for the terrifying feature film from Netflix. A little door that opens to a world of fairy-tale wonders becomes the blood-drenched stomping ground for a gang of hunters in “Faun.” A grief-stricken librarian climbs behind the wheel of an antique Bookmobile to deliver fresh reads to the dead in “Late Returns.” In “By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain”—now an episode on Shudder TV’s Creepshow—two young friends stumble on the corpse of a plesiosaur at the water’s edge, a discovery that forces them to confront the inescapable truth of their own mortality. And tension shimmers in the sweltering heat of the Nevada desert as a faceless trucker finds himself caught in a sinister dance with a tribe of motorcycle outlaws in “Throttle,” cowritten with Stephen King. Replete with shocking chillers, including two previously unpublished stories written expressly for this volume (“Mums” and “Late Returns”) and another appearing in print for the first time (“Dark Carousel”), Full Throttle is a darkly imagined odyssey through the complexities of the human psyche. Hypnotic and disquieting, it mines our tormented secrets, hidden vulnerabilities, and basest fears, and demonstrates this exceptional talent at his very best.

Now a major motion picture streaming on Netflix! Mile 81 meets “N.” in this novella collaboration between Stephen King and Joe Hill. As USA TODAY said of Stephen King’s Mile 81: “Park and scream. Could there be any better place to set a horror story than an abandoned rest stop?” In the Tall Grass begins with a sister and brother who pull off to the side of the road after hearing a young boy crying for help from beyond the tall grass. Within minutes they are disoriented, in deeper than seems possible, and they’ve lost one another. The boy’s cries are more and more desperate. What follows is a terrifying, entertaining, and masterfully told tale, as only Stephen King and Joe Hill can deliver.

Every little boy dreams about putting on a cape and soaring up, up, and away... but what if one day that dream were to come true? Eric was like every other eight-year-old boy, until a tragic accident changed his life forever. THE CAPE explores the dark side of power, as the adult Eric - a confused and broken man - takes to the skies... and sets out to exact a terrible vengeance on everyone who ever disappointed him. This critically acclaimed, Eisner-Award nominated story, written by Jason Ciaramella, based on the short story by New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill, with art by Zach Howard and Nelson Daniel, will linger with you long after you turn the last page, and force you to ask yourself the question: "What if?"

Showdown auf einem staubigen Highway, irgendwo in den Weiten Amerikas: Eine Motorrad-Gang überholt einen Truck. Plötzlich gibt der Fahrer des Trucks Gas und es beginnt eine tödliche Verfolgungsjagd am Limit für Mensch und Maschine. Wer bremst, verliert... sein Leben! Joe Hill, mit dem Eisner Award geehrter Comic-Autor (Locke Key) und für seine Romane mehrfach ausgezeichneter Schriftsteller, schuf zusammen mit seinem Vater Stephen King den Highway-Thriller Throttle (Vollgas) als Verneigung vor Richard Mathesons Erzählung Duell, die durch Steven Spielberg auch zu filmischer Berühmtheit gelangte. Beide Geschichten finden sich in diesem Band, adaptiert von Chris Ryall und grossartig in Szene gesetzt von Nelson Daniel und Rafa Garres. DAS ERSTE COMIC-TEAM UP VON STEPHEN KING UND JOE HILL!

Other notable contributors include Nancy A. Collins, Joe R. Lansdale, William F. Nolan, Whitley Strieber, F. Paul Wilson, and Matheson’s son, Richard Christian Matheson. Previously published as a limited edition by Gauntlet Press in 2009, He Is Legend is now available to Matheson’s many fans, as well as all lovers of gripping horror and suspense.

VON NEW YORK TIMES-BESTSELLER-AUTOR JOE HILL! Stephen Kings Sohn Joe Hill ist längst aus dem Schatten seines berühmten Vaters herausgetreten und gilt als einer der erfolgreichsten Nachwuchsautoren des Genres. Jetzt bläst der bekennende Comic-Fan zum Sturm auf die sequenzielle Kunst. Mit LOCKE KEY präsentiert PANINI das Comic-Debüt des talentierten Horror- und Fantasyautors! In der zwischen Psycho-Horror und Fantasy angesiedelten Geschichte von Joe Hill spielen mystische Türen in einem unheimlichen Haus eine wichtige Rolle. Türen, die nur mit bestimmten Schlüsseln geöffnet werden können und hinter denen sich grosse und düstere Geheimnisse verbergen. Für einen kleinen Jungen und seine Familie bedeutet die Tür zur Astralebene die Rettung vor einem Serienmörder aber auch den Zugang zur Welt für ein Monster, das danach giert, auch die anderen Türen zu öffnen.

Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill (Heart-Shaped Box) creates an all-new six-issue story of dark fantasy and wonder: Locke & Key. Written by Hill and featuring astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez, Locke & Key tells of Keyhouse, an unlikely New England mansion, with fantastic doors that transform all who dare to walk through them... and home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will not rest until it forces open the most terrible door of them all...

Judas Coyne is a collector of the macabre: a cookbook for cannibals . . . a used hangman''s noose . . . a snuff film. An aging death-metal rock god, his taste for the unnatural is as widely known to his legions of fans as the notorious excesses of his youth. But nothing he possesses is as unlikely or as dreadful as his latest purchase, an item he discovered on the Internet: I will sell my stepfather''s ghost to the highest bidder . . . For a thousand dollars, Jude has become the owner of a dead man''s suit, said to be haunted by a restless spirit. But what UPS delivers to his door in a black heart-shaped box is no metaphorical ghost, no benign conversation piece. Suddenly the suit''s previous owner is everywhere: behind the bedroom door . . . seated in Jude''s restored Mustang . . . staring out from his widescreen TV. Waiting—with a gleaming razor blade on a chain dangling from one hand . . .

A pulse-pounding, terrifying rollercoaster ride of a supernatural thriller—a remarkable debut novel from a blazing talent that will keep readers spellbound Sooner or later, the dead catch up. . . . Judas Coyne was a collector. The bizarre, the unusual, the grotesque: A cookbook for cannibals. A used hangman’s noose. A snuff film. Usually the objects were sent by the black-clad fans who made his metal band a legend and made him rich. But this time, when his personal assistant told him there was a ghost for sale on the Internet, Jude didn’t think twice. But he should have. Of all the ghosts around him—the abusive father, the battered, resentful child Jude once was, the bandmates he betrayed, Anna, the suicidal girl he loved and dumped—this new one means to haunt him all the way to hell. His new acquisition—delivered to his doorstep in a black heart-shaped box—is Anna’s vengeful stepdaddy. Martin Craddock swears he’s going to settle up with Jude for ruining his daughter’s life. Craddock is everywhere: on the other side of the bedroom door; in Jude’s restored vintage Mustang; outside his window, on his television screen. In his hand , a gleaming razorblade swinging from a chain. And now the jaded rock star who’s seen it all, done it all, has never been so afraid. . . .

One man fueled by grief after the murder of his son, another fueled by dark magic and revenge-both headed towards a final confrontation that will settle the score once and for all. Watch the world burn in this shocking conclusion to The Cape: 1969.
