Dark Visions is the British equivalent of the American 'Night Visions 5' and contains the same works by Stephen King 'The Reploids" - 'Sneakers' and 'Dedication' - Dan Simmons "Metastasis', 'Vanni Fucci.." and 'Iverson's Pits' - and George R.R. Martin's 'The Skin Trade'.
This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides -- or are chosen. A world in which good rides on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abigail -- and the worst nightmares of evil are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the dark man.
An infamous house in Castle Rock takes on a life of its own in It Grows on You. In The Fifth Quarter, a crook seeks to avenge his friend's death and to piece together a map to stolen treasure that his buddy died trying to claim. A nightly free rock-androll concert carries a hidden price in You Know They Got a Hell of a Band. And a tabloid reporter's pursuit of a brutal killer could turn deadly in in The Night Flier. Stephen King, Gary Sinise, Grace Slick and Frank Muller lend their voices to this haunting collection of classic stories that no Stephen King fan should be without.
