Synopses

If It Bleeds

After a devastating explosion at a school, Holly Gibney of the Finders Keepers detective agency notices something unsettling about the TV reporter who arrives first. In her first solo crime case, she sets out to uncover what he is concealing.

The Institute

Hidden deep in the woods of Maine, a state facility imprisons children abducted from across the United States. Inside the Institute, they are put through tests and procedures intended to concentrate their exceptional gifts, including telepathy and telekinesis.

IT

Derry, Maine appears to be an ordinary, well-ordered town and a good place to live. A group of children sense what makes it terrifyingly different, as something lurks in storm drains and sewers, taking the form of nightmares and deepest fears.

Misery

Paul Sheldon once wrote for a living, but now he is writing to stay alive. After killing off Misery Chastain, the heroine who made him rich, he wants to move on to what he considers real writing.

Pet Sematary

To Dr Louis Creed, the house feels right: rambling, old, and comfortable, a place for his family to settle. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seem far removed from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago.
