For the first time
in Stephen King's remarkable publishing
history, the master storyteller presents an
all-new, original tale written expressly for
the television screen.
They're calling it the Storm of the Century,
and it's coming hard. The residents of
Little Tall Island have seen their share of
nasty Maine Nor'easters, but this one is
different. Not only is it packing
hurricane-force winds and up to five feet of
snow, it's bringing something worse.
Something even the islanders have never seen
before. Something no one wants to see.
Just as the first flakes begin to fall,
Martha Clarendon, one of Little Tall
Island's oldest residents, suffers an
unspeakably violent death. While her blood
dries, Andre Linoge, the man responsible
sits calmly in Martha's easy chair holding
his cane topped with a silver wolf's
head...waiting.
Linoge knows the townsfolk will come to
arrest him. He will let them. For he has
come to the island for one reason. And when
he meets Constable Mike Anderson, his
beautiful wife and child, and the rest of
Little Tall's tight-knit community, this
stranger will make one simple proposition to
them all:
"If you give me what I want, I'll go away."
