Readers adore Stephen King’s novels, and his novellas are their own dark treat, briefer but just as impactful and enduring as his longer fiction. Harrigan’s Phone” - now a Netflix original film starring Donald Sutherland and Jaeden Martell!įrom the legendary storyteller and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary collection of four new “exceptionally compelling novellas that reaffirm mastery of the form” (The Washington Post). That precedent was set way back in Predator 1, and Naru’s plan echoes what Dutch does in that movie, which is in this movie's future.Includes “Mr. So just like in other installments of the Predator franchise, the victorious hunter has to figure out how the alien tech works and how to find ways to defeat it.
