**FIRST TIME ON AUDIO...
An Unabridged Novella Unavailable In Any Collection!**
Tapping into our primal fears of modern technology that made *Cell *a #1 bestseller, Stephen King sets his sights on the latest high-tech gadget in *UR,* in which a mysterious e-book reader opens a disturbing window into other worlds.
Reeling from a painful break-up, English instructor and avid book lover Wesley Smith is haunted by his ex-girlfriend's parting shot: "Why can't you just read off the computer like everyone else?" He buys an e-book reader out of spite, but soon finds he can use the device to glimpse realities he had never before imagined, discovering literary riches beyond his wildest dreams...and all-too-human tragedies that surpass his most terrible nightmares.
From vintage cars (*Christine* and *From a Buick 8*) to household appliances (*Maximum Overdrive*) to exercise equipment (*Stationary Bike*), Stephen King has mesmerized us with tales of apparently ordinary machines that take on lives of their own. *UR* gives this classic theme an up-to-the-minute spin, resulting in a horror masterpiece for our time and for the ages.
