Storm of the Century: An Original Screenplay

01 Feb 1999

For the first time in #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen Kings remarkable publishing history, the Master of Horror presents an all-new, original tale written expressly for the television screen. Theyre calling it the Storm of the Century, and its coming hard. The residents of Little Tall Island have seen their share of nasty Maine Noreasters, but this one is different. Not only is it packing hurricane-force winds and up to five feet of snow, its bringing something worse. Something even the islanders have never seen before. Something no one wants to see. Just as the first flakes begin to fall, Martha Clarendon, one of Little Tall Islands oldest residents, suffers an unspeakably violent death. While her blood dries, Andre Linoge, the man responsible sits calmly in Marthas easy chair holding his cane topped with a silver wolfs head...waiting. Linoge knows the townsfolk will come to arrest him. He will let them. For he has come to the island for one reason. And when he meets Constable Mike Anderson, his beautiful wife and child, and the rest of Little Talls tight-knit community, this stranger will make one simple proposition to them all: If you give me what I want, Ill go away.
