  • From #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson, six kidnappers pursue a whopping ten-figure payout in this thrilling novel featuring "breakneck pacing and loop-the-loop plotting" (Publishers Weekly).

    Five members of a billionaire's family. In different locations. All kidnapped at the same moment.
    Two children taken from a private-school bus. A film producer and a movie star grabbed at a hideaway resort. A beautiful wife whisked off the streets of Beverly Hills.
    A patriarch wants his family back. The cash, gold, jewels, and crypto are all ready.
    There's only one problem: a brilliant, very stubborn FBI agent. Special Agent Nicky Gordon doesn't want to pay the kidnappers.
    Not a dime.

  • A strikingly designed, deluxe hardcover edition of Psycho, one of the most iconic horror novels of the 20th century, featuring a translucent jacket, debossed case, special endpapers, and edge-staining.

    "Icily terrifying!" -- New York Times

    Norman Bates loves his mother. She has been dead for the past 20 years, or so people think. Norman knows better, though.

    Ever since leaving the hospital, he has lived with Mother in the old house up on the hill above the Bates Motel. One night, after a beautiful woman checks into the motel, Norman spies on her as she undresses. Norman can't help but spy on her.

    Mother is there, though. She is there to protect Norman from his filthy thoughts. She is there to protect him with her butcher knife.

    This beautifully produced collector's edition is a great way to experience this horror classic and perfect for displaying and gifting.

  • The haunting tale of two brave children lost in a dark and dangerous forest is reimagined by literary legends Stephen King and Maurice Sendak in an all-new picture book.

    Let Stephen King, global bestselling and award-winning author, and Maurice Sendak, beloved creator of the Caldecott Medal-winning Where the Wild Things Are, guide you into the most deliciously daring rendition of the classic Grimm fairy tale yet. But will you find your way back out?

    With a personal introduction from Stephen King, the beautiful book has been created in close collaboration with The Maurice Sendak Foundation. This stunning storybook makes the perfect gift for fans of King, Sendak, and the Brothers Grimm.

  • Sixth grade renaissance man Nate Wright is bombastic, enthusiastic, and larger than life--it's why his friends call him "Big Nate." But behind the bravado, Nate is a faithful friend whose antics crack up his classmates, impart life lessons to readers, and bring a smile to comics fans everywhere.

    It's back-to-school time for sixth-grader Nate Wright, and this just might be the best year ever! Rumors are flying that the villainous Mrs. Godfrey is now teaching EIGHTH grade. Chad is on the verge of destroying Gina in the race for class president. And could Nate finally realize his dream of changing the school mascot to . . . a sea cucumber? Hey, why not? He's a can-do kind of guy. So when the Weekly Bugle needs a story, Nate's happy to make headlines--by (allegedly) starting an epic food fight in the cafetorium! In this latest collection of gut-busting Big Nate comics, Nate's always stirring things up, but at the end of every day, P.S. 38 is still standing. In other words: NO HARM DONE!

  • NAMED A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW TOP 10 HORROR BOOK OF 2024
    WINNER OF THE GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD FOR HORROR
    FINALIST FOR THE 2025 LOCUS AWARDS

    "Stephen King knows You Like It Darker and obliges with sensational new tales" (USA TODAY): From legendary storyteller and master of short fiction Stephen King, an extraordinary collection of stories that are "a master class in tension and full of King's dark humor" (The New York Times Book Review)-- now with a bonus story, "The Music Room."

    "You like it darker? Fine, so do I," writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life--both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel "the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind," and in You Like It Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again.

    "Two Talented Bastids" explores the long-hidden secret of how the eponymous gentlemen got their skills. In "Danny Coughlin's Bad Dream," a brief and unprecedented psychic flash upends dozens of lives, Danny's most catastrophically. In "Rattlesnakes," a sequel to Cujo, a grieving widower travels to Florida for respite and instead receives an unexpected inheritance--with major strings attached. In "The Dreamers," a taciturn Vietnam vet answers a job ad and learns that there are some corners of the universe best left unexplored. "The Answer Man" asks if prescience is good luck or bad and reminds us that a life marked by unbearable tragedy can still be meaningful.

    "King's skills as a storyteller remain undimmed" ( The Minnesota Star Tribune) and his ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace is unsurpassed. "The titular darkness promised is as riveting and all-consuming as ever" ( New York magazine). You like it darker? You got it.
