When Survival Turns Supernatural
Rosie Daniels spends nine years walking on eggshells—then one morning she just walks out. What follows is a pulse-pounding chase through city streets, Greek-myth dreamscapes, and the darkest corners of the human mind.
Stephen King blends raw realism with uncanny horror, proving once more he can make even a paint-splattered canvas feel dangerous.
Why Readers Keep Turning Pages
- Grit meets magic. Domestic-abuse escape story collides with surreal mythology—classic King fusion.
- Sharp character work. Rosie’s steady courage and Norman’s chilling rage feel scarily real.
- Collector status. First edition, first printing from Viking—hard to find in solid shape.
- Bonus margin voice. Prior owner left neat notes praising King’s “glorious metaphors”—a personal touch for fellow Constant Readers.

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.
-
Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.
-
With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.
-
Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
