New York Times best-selling authors Stephen King and Peter Straub are acknowledged worldwide as two of the most acclaimed voices in horror-fiction history. Twenty years ago, Jack Sawyer traveled to a parallel universe to save his mother from an agonizing death. Now a retired L.A. detective, Jack lives in a small Wisconsin town with no memory of his past adventures. But when a string of grisly murders pulls Jack out of retirement, he is set on a path that will reawaken past nightmares and put him face-to-face with a dreadful supernatural force.
