What does the future hold in store for the human race? Aliens from distant galaxies, telepathic horror, interstellar war, time-warps, the shriek of a rose, collision with an asteroid – the unknown lies around every corner, and the universe is a big place.
A wonderfully funny tall story from Kurt Vonnegut, Sam Shepard's sharply observed account of a young boy who runs away from home and star light a virtuoso science fiction from Isaac Asimov, are some of the pleasures in store in this collection. It contains pieces by new young talents as well as from the already well know, and these taken together provide us with a marvellous window on contemporary America, a view into its rich and exciting variety of peoples, cities and farmlands, cultures and imaginations.

Secret Window, Secret Garden is similar to King's earlier novel The Dark Half. Both are about authors, in this case Mort Rainey, who is a thinly-veiled analogue of King himself. Mort is visited by a man who takes the name of John Shooter, with a manuscript which proves to be an almost exact copy of a story that Mort himself wrote and published some years earlier. The man claims that Mort stole it from him and demands that Mort write a story in his name as compensation or prove that he is innocent, or bad things will happen. Reuploaded Thanks to emkis
I've experienced a lot the last few years and I have a lot to share. So I hope that you'll take a moment to sit back, relax and enjoy the words I've put together for you in this book. I think you'll find I've left no stone unturned, no door unopened, no window unbroken, no rug unvacuumed, no ivories untickled. What I'm saying is, let us begin, shall we?
