The End Times

As the world struggles to begin again—years after a pandemic wipes out most of the population—Mary Poole finds meaning as a writer and editor when she revives an old printing press and begins publishing a small-town newspaper.

But Mary soon discovers there are other, more sinister agendas at work as well.

Special contributions by Claudia Inez Bachman not only inform the narrative, but add to the lore surrounding Claudia and her late husband, Richard Bachman, Stephen King’s longtime pseudonym.
