Author Spotlight: Stephen King

A few of Stephen King's titles have been on the bargain list for some time (see this post for Riding the Bullet ($2.00), UR ($2.99) and Colorado Kid ($3.99) ), but there are some new titles marked down today. The first two, The Running Man (1982) and Thinner (1984) were written under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, while the last two Cujo (1981) and Misery (1987) are classic Stephen King. All four are currently marked at $3.99.

When an old gypsy man curses Billy Halleck for sideswiping his daughter, six weeks later he's ninety-three pounds lighter. Now Billy is terrified. And desperate enough for one last gamble...that will lead him to a nightmare showdown with the forces of evil melting his flesh away.

The Running Man
