NOS4A2: A Horror Novel and Basis for the Hit Series

Victoria McQueen possesses an unusual ability to find things—lost objects, missing people, answers to difficult questions. When she rides her bicycle across an old covered bridge near her home, she arrives at the places she needs to be. Charles Talent Manx also has a gift. He drives a 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the vanity plate NOS4A2, taking children on rides that slip out of the everyday world onto hidden roads. These roads lead to Christmasland, an amusement playground of his own creation. The journey transforms his passengers into beings as terrifying and unstoppable as Manx himself. Years ago, Vic encountered Charlie while searching for trouble. She became the only child to escape him. Now an adult, she wants only to forget. But Charlie Manx remains obsessed with Victoria McQueen. Back on the road, he seeks revenge and something irreplaceable from her. As their conflict escalates into a battle of survival, Vic prepares to destroy Charlie—or die in the attempt.
