The King of Horror Classic Collection (3 Books)

The Stephen King Iconic Collection Summary

This set brings together the terrifying exploration of isolation and the human psyche. The Shining follows Jack Torrance as he takes a winter caretaking job at the remote Overlook Hotel, only for its malevolent spirits to prey on his past demons and psychic son, Danny. Misery shifts the horror to a purely human level, depicting the grueling captivity of author Paul Sheldon by his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes, who forces him to resurrect a dead character in a brutal battle of wills.

The collection is rounded out by the 2022 novel Fairy Tale, a spellbinding adventure where seventeen-year-old Charlie Reade inherits a portal to a parallel world called Empis. In this realm of magic and decay, Charlie must lead a battle against a great evil to save his dog and the kingdom itself. Together, these books showcase King’s mastery across genres—from supernatural terror and grounded suspense to epic dark fantasy.
