Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes into the deepest well of his imagination in this spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil are at war, and the stakes could not be higher—for their world or ours. Asos has said it will mothball its Lichfield warehouse as it looks to cut costs to boost profitability while forecasting a second year of declining sales. C. Boyle; a surreal full-color comic byTeddy Goldenberg; letters fromSamantha HuntandKate Folk; and more.

Born in Hertfordshire in 1934, Tony’s childhood was troubled – he documents some of his experiences in his memoir Mr Pikes.

Thankfully, with the advancements of modern medicine, Tony was able to manage the illness until it became dormant and continued living life to the fullest; albeit a little more safely when it came to his ongoing sexual escapades (he numbered his conquests at over 3000). Tony King started his 61 year career in the music business in 1958 at Decca, where he travelled every day from his hometown of Eastbourne. The decision led to billions of pounds being wiped off the market value of Orsted, the Danish energy group.

Life was not all smooth sailing for Tony; in between the parties, the boats, the fun and the love affairs, he experienced his fair share of tragedy.
