About the book

The next call you take could be your last in this terrifying #1 New York Times bestseller by master storyteller Stephen King—now featuring a stunning vintage cover! On October 1, God is in His heaven, the stock market stands at 10,140, most of the planes are on time, and graphic artist Clayton Riddell is visiting Boston, having just landed a deal that might finally enable him to make art instead of teaching it. But all those good feelings about the future change in a hurry thanks to a devastating phenomenon that will come to be known as The Pulse. The delivery method is a cell phone— everyone’s cell phone.
