The Dead Zone

The #1 New York Times bestseller and “frightening” (The New York Times) thriller from master storyteller Stephen King — now featuring a stunning vintage cover!

When Johnny Smith was six years old, head trauma caused by a bad ice-skating accident left him with a nasty bruise on his forehead and, from time to time, those hunches . . . infrequent but accurate snippets of things to come. But it isn’t until Johnny’s a grown man — now having survived a horrifying auto injury that plunged him into a coma lasting four-and-a-half years — that his special abilities really push to the fore.

Johnny Smith has come back from the void with an extraordinary gift that becomes his life’s curse . . . presenting visions of what was and what will be for both the innocent and guilty alike. But when he encounters a ruthlessly ambitious and amoral man who promises a terrifying fate for all humanity, Johnny must find a way to prevent a harrowing predestination from becoming reality . . .
