«Στη νουβέλα μου Η ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ ΑΝΑΠΝΟΩΝ υπάρχει μια μυστηριώδης ιδιωτική λέσχη που στεγάζεται σ’ ένα πέτρινο οίκημα της Ανατολικής 35ης οδού στο Μανχάταν, όπου συγκεντρώνονται τακτικά άτομα κάποιας ηλικίας και αφηγούνται παράξενες ιστορίες. Στον επάνω όροφο υπάρχουν πολλά δωμάτια, κι όταν κάποιος νεοφερμένος ρωτά να μάθει πόσα, ο παράξενος μπάτλερ του αποκρίνεται: “Δεν ξέρω, κύριε, αλλά μπορεί κανείς να χαθεί εκεί πάνω”. Αυτή η λέσχη ανδρών είναι στην πραγματικότητα μια μεταφορά, είναι το μυαλό του αφηγητή, είναι η όλη διαδικασία της αφήγησης. Μέσα μου έχω τόσες ιστορίες όσα και τα δωμάτια εκείνου του κτιρίου, και μπορώ εύκολα να χαθώ μέσα σ’ αυτές. Και στη λέσχη, κάθε φορά που πρόκειται να ξετυλιχτεί το νήμα μιας αφήγησης, γίνεται πρώτα μια πρόποση, όπου επαναλαμβάνονται τα λόγια που είναι χαραγμένα πάνω στο τεράστιο τζάκι της βιβλιοθήκης:

ΣΗΜΑΣΙΑ ΕΧΕΙ Η ΙΣΤΟΡΙΑ, ΟΧΙ ΑΥΤΟΣ ΠΟΥ ΤΗΝ ΑΦΗΓΕΙΤΑΙ

Αυτό το γνωμικό υπήρξε για μένα ένας καλός οδηγός στη ζωή, και νομίζω πως θα ήταν ό,τι πρέπει για επιτύμβιο στον τάφο μου.»

Луис Крид никак не предполагал, чем обернется для него и его семьи переезд в новый дом. До сих пор он даже не слышал о Вендиго — зловещем духе индейских легенд. И уж тем более не догадывался, что рядом с этим домом находится кладбище домашних животных. Однако очень скоро ему пришлось пожалеть о своем неведении...
Читайте "Кладбище домашних животных" — бестселлер короля триллеров Стивена Кинга!

In Crouch End geschehen von Zeit zu Zeit merkwürdige Dinge. Bekanntlich kann man sich in dem eher ruhigen Vorort Londons leicht verirren. Manche verirren sich dort scheint’s für immer. Doris meldet im Polizeirevier das Verschwinden ihres Mannes und berichtet hysterisch von Monstern und übernatürlichen Ereignissen. Die Nachtwache schiebenden Polizeibeamten nehmen sie nicht ganz ernst. Warum also nicht einfach in Crouch End nachschauen und den Humbug aufdecken?<

»Crouch End« ist No. 35 der Stephen King Story Selection (aus: Albträume – Nightmares & Dreamscapes). Sie umfasst ca. 52 Manuskriptseiten.

The story follows Jerry Tarkanian, a criminal looking to avenge the death of his friend Barney, who died at the hands of his own accomplices after taking part in an armored car heist. Unknown to them, Barney managed to get to Tarkanian before he died and told him of the heist and of a map divided amongst his killers that reveals the location of the stolen money.

At the start of the story, Tarkanian has tracked down two of the men, Keenan and Sarge, who are about to make a deal between themselves. He manages to hold them at gunpoint and forces Keenan to give him his piece of the map before shooting him dead after learning he was the one who fatally wounded Barney. He then returns with Sarge to Sarge's apartment, where his piece of the map is located. However, immediately after Sarge gives Tarkanian his piece of the map, a third man, Jagger, appears and attacks them both. In the firefight that follows, Sarge is killed but contributes to Jagger's downfall when his body obstructs Jagger's path; this gives Tarkanian the advantage necessary to kill Jagger.

Despite not having Jagger's part of the map, Tarkanian knows enough to recover the money. The story ends as Tarkanian leaves the scene. Tarkanian knows that his debt to his friend has been paid and he himself now has a lot to be grateful for.

The plot is similar to a novel the character George Stark is writing in The Dark Half.[original research?] This is the only work of short fiction that King ever wrote under a pen name.

Read by a Tim Curry. Doctor Watson solves a case before Sherlock Holmes. Original published in The new Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Various Authors.
