Under the Dome
As part of our exciting King reissue programme (2020-2024), we are relaunching his paperbacks with a stunning new cover look. UNDER THE DOME is a captivating EPIC THRILLER.
The second season of the television adaptation of UNDER THE DOME will receive its UK premiere on Channel 5 on Monday, August 25th. In one of Stephen King's most riveting novels, in which every chapter ends on a cliffhanger. a Maine town and its inhabitants are isolated from the world by an invisible, impenetrable dome.
There's a reason why Stephen King is one of the best-selling writers in the world ever.
He knows how to write stories that suck you in and are impossible to put down. The New York Times describes it as a 'relentless tidal pull'. Stephen King has done it time and time again with stories like The Shawshank Redemption, Misery, The Green Mile, and The Stand.
In Under the Dome, he has produced another riveting masterpiece. The end of every chapter hooks you into the next, drawing you inside a psychological drama that is so rich, you don't read it, you live it.
It is the story of the small town of Chester's Mill, Maine, which is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. No one can get in and no one can get out.
The normal rules of society are suddenly changed, and when food, electricity, and water run short, the community begins to crumble. As a new and more sinister social order develops, Dale Barbara, an Iraq veteran, teams up with a handful of intrepid citizens to fight against the corruption sweeping through the town and to try to discover the source of the Dome before it is too late...

Under the Dome has been praised for being propulsive and compulsively readable, with a tightly written mystery that is hard to put down. Critics admire its moral clarity, noting the depth and weightiness that sets it apart from typical suspense and terror works. The novel is described as a thrilling roller-coaster ride filled with terror, hope, and lyricism, all while showcasing non-supernatural horrors.
