Stephen King is a wildly prolific writer, with over 60 novels and novellas to his name, and soon that legacy will grow even larger when The Gwendy Trilogy Omnibus launches on February 18. The collection compiles the entire Gwendy trilogy into one easy-to-read volume. Preorders are discounted to $20 at Amazon (normally $22).
$20 (was $22) | Releases February 18
Written by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar, The Gwendy Trilogy follows a 12-year-old girl who is given a mysterious wooden box by a stranger. Inside are a bunch of unique items–but if Gwendy is tempted to press any of the buttons inside the wooden box, something terrible will happen. The two following books in the trilogy follow Gwendy later in life, with Gwendy’s Magic Feather seeing her become a successful author only to once again stumble upon the deadly button box, and it concludes with Gwendy’s Final Task as evil forces attempt to seize control of the box. This paperback omnibus is a bind-up, which is a single-volume edition containing the entire three-book trilogy.
Preordering from Amazon locks in the preorder price guarantee, so if the price changes between now and release, you’ll only be on the hook for the lowest price. You also won’t be charged until the item ships.
While the omnibus edition is a great choice if you want the full trilogy in a single book, there are other options to check out that are available now, including The Gwendy Trilogy Paperback Box Set the contains all three books but is slightly more expensive at $27 (was $52).
King also has two more upcoming releases slated to launch in 2025. The first is Never Flinch arriving on May 27, which follows the Buckeye City Police Department and their response to a letter that threatens to kill 14 people as an act of atonement for the death of an innocent man. There are also a new printing of Skeleton Crew: Stories arriving on February 25 for $22. There’s also the anthology The End of the World As We Know It arriving August 19, which collects numerous short stories from various authors based on King’s beloved novel The Stand, and features a foreword by King.
King co-wrote the Gwendy Trilogy with Richard Chizmar, who also has some excellent books worth checking out, including the crime novels Chasing The Boogeyman and its follow-up Becoming the Boogeyman, both of which are on sale at Amazon. For something different, check out his latest book, Memorials. This is a supernatural tale about a group of students who encounter unsettling symbols on grave markers while filming a documentary deep in the Appalachian Mountains.
