      Paul Sheldon es un escritor que sufre un grave accidente y recobra el conocimiento en una apartada casa en la que vive una sospechosa mujer, corpulenta y de extraño carácter. Se trata de una antigua enfermera, involucrada en varias muertes misteriosas ocurridas en diversos hospitales. Fanática de un personaje de una serie de libros que él ha decidido dejar de escribir, está dispuesta a hacer todo lo necesario para convencerlo de que retome la escritura. Esta mujer es capaz de los mayores horrores, y Paul, con las piernas rotas y entre terribles dolores, tendrá que luchar por su vida. Un relato obsesivo y aterrador, que solo Stephen King podía ofrecernos.

      Winner of the Bram Stoker Award and Locus Awards, finalist for the Philip K. Dick Award, and named one of io9.com's "Top 10 Debut Science Fiction Novels That Took the World By Storm." With a new afterword by Maryse Meijer, author of Heartbreaker and Rag. "Black. Pure black and the sense of pulsation, especially when you look at it too closely, the sense of something not living but alive." When a strange hole materializes in a storage room, would-be poet Nicholas and his feral lover Nakota allow their curiosity to lead them into the depths of terror. "Wouldn't it be wild to go down there?" says Nakota. Nicholas says, "We're not." But no one is in control, and their experiments lead to obsession, violence, and a very final transformation for everyone who gets too close to the Funhole.
