The storm of the century
Not every storm can be weathered
A storm is rolling in over Little Tall Island, and they say it will be the storm of the century. The locals are used to bad weather, but this time it’s different. The storm has brought not only a gale and snowdrifts, but something else too.
As soon as the first flakes fall from the sky, Martha Clarendon, one of the oldest residents of Little Tall Island, dies a terrible death. Andre Linoge, who brutally beat her, sits calmly nearby, holding a cane with a silver wolf’s head… and waits.
This is the original screenplay for the television miniseries.
Stephen King
Stephen King (born 21 September 1947 in Portland) is a contemporary American writer, who also publishes under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. He studied English literature and briefly worked in a laundry, delivered newspapers, and taught. He started his writing career in 1974 and continues it successfully to this day.
He is most famous as an author of horror, but he also writes thrillers, sci-fi and fantasy. He is also drawn to various experiments; he creates theoretical works describing the horror genre. Most of his works have also been published in Czech translation, thanks in large part to the publishing house Pavel Dobrovský - BETA. Many of his books have been successfully adapted into films.
Based on King's works, films such as The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile were made, which are now ranked among the top ten best films of all time. Stephen King's books, full of references to American life, popular culture and especially rock music, successfully connect the fictional world with the real world. Into the atmosphere of ordinary life, which the author masterfully evokes, he gradually inserts supernatural elements, often escalating into a complete inferno.
He writes about artists struggling with creative problems and haunted by supernatural forces, about evil in a small town, about violence against women, and about the world as seen through a child's eyes.
