Night Rose

Description

“I’m no longer a child, yet I don’t like to sleep with one leg exposed under the covers. I might scream if a cold hand reached under the bed and grabbed my ankle… Yes, I might scream so loudly I’d wake the dead. Such things certainly don’t happen, and we all know it. In the following stories, you will encounter all sorts of nocturnal creatures: vampires, demon lovers, a bogeyman who lives in the closet, and all other forms of terror. None of them are real. And that thing lurking under my bed, waiting to be caught…” My ankle is also not real. I know that, just as I know that if I make sure to keep my leg under the covers, he will never be able to grab my ankle…”.

A few years after Stephen King’s name emerged as the most important name in horror literature in recent decades, and one year after the publication of his third novel, “The Shining”—whose Arabic translation was previously published by Al-Mahrousa—”The Night Rose” was released; Stephen King’s first collection of short stories, this anthology includes many of his most famous works, several of which have been adapted into films and television series, including “Children of the Corn,” which became one of the most popular American horror film franchises.
