A No. 1 New York Times bestseller and winner of the 1986 Locus Award for Best Collection, Skeleton Crew is a landmark collection from the unrivalled master of horror, Stephen King.

Featuring The Mist, adapted into a feature film directed by Frank Darabont and a Netflix series, and The Monkey, adapted for film starring Theo James, this is King at his most inventive, unsettling, and fearless.

Hold tight. We’re going into dark places. Just don’t let go of my arm.

Here, the ordinary twists into the grotesque. The familiar becomes lethal. In these chilling tales, you’ll meet a woman who has never crossed the water separating her from the mainland, a grandmother who still wants to hug her grandson long after death, an innocent-looking toy with murderous intent, and something ancient and ravenous rising from the sea.

“Wonderfully gruesome.” – The New York Times Book Review

This essential collection includes:
The Mist, The Monkey, The Jaunt, Mrs. Todd’s Shortcut, The Raft, Gramma, Survivor Type, The Reach, and many more.

Relentless, imaginative, and deeply unsettling, Skeleton Crew takes readers straight to the outer limits of fear, and leaves them there.
