In his New York Times bestselling The Wind Through the Keyhole, Stephen King returns to the spectacular territory of the Dark Tower fantasy saga to tell a story about gunslinger Roland Deschain in his early days.
The Wind Through the Keyhole is a sparkling contribution to the series that can be placed between Dark Tower IV and Dark Tower V. This Russian doll of a novel, a story within a story within a story, visits Roland and his ka-tet as a ferocious, frigid storm halts their progress along the Path of the Beam. Roland tells a tale from his early…
The way "Bishop" captures and conveys the majesty, and potential for terror, of the Alaskan wilderness via its memorable characters and supernatural elements really stuck with and impressed me. I'd say it's a real standout in the horror genre, any way you slice it.

This was a re-read for me, wanting to experience the stories that made me fall in love with McGillvray's writing style anew, with the collection's recent release as an audiobook. Very well done and a great showcase of his range in terms of themes, tone, and narrative intricacy for any fan of speculative fiction.

The pursuit of power is as old as human history. In ancient times and in various cultures, it was believed that a person's power, indeed their very essence, could be literally extracted through a variety of means. The methods by which this was accomplished were largely lost to the ages, or banned and purged from historical records by kings, pharaohs, and the like in efforts to preserve their own power and authority. Still, the echoes of these ideas and techniques persist.
What would happen if a man living in modern society, a descendant of the practitioners of those arts, were to inadvertently awaken such an ability and what would be the consequences of that awakening?
"The Big Men" is a paranormal thriller that explores the perceptions, manifestations, and consequences of power as wielded and coveted by men in the modern era. This debut novel, dramatically narrated by the author, will keep listeners guessing as they are drawn into the world of such men by a young outsider, capable of taking everything from them.
