HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 1985

Wolves at the Door is British release of The Trap
I came across this title when I was trying to do a little research to see if I had read all of Tabitha Kings books in print. I ordered it from a book seller in England and discovered that it seemed very familiar. I went through my other books by her and found that this is the same book as The Trap. The covers are similar, but not identical. I enjoyed reading the book again, it had been at ...

A thought-provoking slice of Maine life
Pearl Dickenson inherits the home and land of her great-uncle Joe, who she never had the chance to meet. On the spur of the moment, while taking care of Uncle Joe's funeral arrangements, Pearl decides to live in his house rather than sell it.

Signet, 1982

A miniaturist's view to the Small World
Unfortunately, I can't say if this book would be enjoyable for someone who's not into dollhouse miniatures - because I'm passionately into them. Ever since my childhood, when I played with my four-storey Lundby dollhouse, I've been dreaming what it would be like, to have real little people living in my dollhouse. Reading 'Small World' was like a glimpse of someone else's similar dream - only ...

Signet, 1984

Excellent novel of love and loss in a small northern town.
This is the type of book which one reads again and again, finding more in it to admire and enjoy each time. It explores the star-crossed relationship of Tory Christopher and Joe Nevers, two people who have nothing in common and yet are inexplicably drawn to one another. There's a mystery surrounding a couple of unexplained deaths, as well as subplots involving friendship, love, sex, revenge, ...

Fabulous Book!
I loved this book. I thought the characters were fascinating and richly textured, as they always tend to be in Tabitha King's writings. Liv's friendship with Miss Alden was wonderful. And it's always great to get another point of view on Nodd's Ridge.

Survivor

Tabitha King

Signet, 1998

Fearfully and wonderfully made
Fiction about the results of postmodern family fragmentation usually focuses on the failures, not the survivors, perhaps because the failures may come across as sympathetic-while the survivors probably don't. What survivors may win from their chaotic experiences is a brittle, uneven, unkind strength. Tabitha King's young protagonist, Kristin "Kissy" Mellors, brings that kind of strength out of ...

Long awaited
I fell in love years ago with Michael McDowell's Blackwater series, and was so sad to hear he had passed away, but what a lovely tribute that Tabitha stepped to finish it, you won't be disappointed, it is a haunting and wonderful read. Thanks.

Signet, 1994

Unrealized excellent talent
Tabitha King has a wonderful talent with bending the written word in such a way that it captivates the reader to the point of not being able to put the book down until the very last page. Unfortunately, though I am a great fan of Stephen King, Tabitha gets very little of the spotlight and I am disappointed that none of her books are available to buy as new books.

Carrie
I've been one of Mr. King's "Constant Readers" for years. However, my reading of his tales began with Gerald's Game and, until this past year, I never read anything published before it. I now realize how unfortunate that was! The past few months have allowed me to rediscover Stephen King in an entirely new light. I finished Carrie this evening from my Kindle. (I've been THRILLED about all ...

Berkley, 2007

could have been sooooo much better
I just got done reading this book and I was really disappointed. It had so much potential. The writing was excellent but the storyline just went nowhere. In the beginning, the plot really got you involved and was intense and a page turner. Then you read all this fluff in the middle that doesn't seem to really relate. Well, okay it ends up relating in some vague way to the ending where they give ...

Candles Burning
Tabitha King, Michael McDowell

Blackstone Audio Inc., 2006

Author Michael McDowell, known for his chilling Blackwater series, left behind the unfinished manuscript of Candles Burning on his death in 1999. His close friend, Tabitha King, has taken up where he left off, weaving a Southern gothic fabric of murder, guilt, innocence, corruption, and survival, in the voices of the living and the dead. Calley Dakin is daddy’s little girl, but her well-born mother persists in contempt for the Dakin ...
