Description: Clayton Riddell, an artist from Maine, has just landed a deal that might finally enable him to support his family by making art instead of teaching it. He's already picked up a small (but expensive!) gift for his wife, and he knows just what he'll get for his boy, Johnny. Clay's feeling good about the future. That changes in a hurry...The cause of the devastation is a phenomenon that will come to be known as The Pulse, and the delivery method is a cell phone. Everyone's cell phone. Clay and the few despearate survivors who join him suddenly find themselves in the pitc-black night of civilization's darkest age, surrounded by chaos, carnage, and a human horde that has been reduced to its basest nature. There's really no escaping this nightmare. Stephen King's utterly gripping, gory, and fascinating novel doesn't just ask the question "Can you hear me now?" It answers it with a vengeance.
