Dreamcatcher – Stephen King (2001) Advance Reader Copy

A gripping blend of sci-fi horror and psychological suspense, Dreamcatcher follows four childhood friends—Jonesy, Pete, Beaver, and Henry—who share a mysterious psychic bond forged by an act of childhood heroism. Reunited for their annual hunting trip in the Maine woods, they encounter an otherworldly threat: a deadly extraterrestrial parasite (dubbed “Ripley”) that spreads like a virus, turning its hosts into grotesque, predatory creatures. As a military quarantine descends, the friends must confront both the alien invasion and their own fractured pasts. King weaves body horror, government conspiracies, and themes of loyalty into a visceral, fast-paced narrative.
