This horror story from Stephen King is one where the twist at the end sticks in your mind, even though nine gruesome murders remain unsolved. A serial killer stalks a small college community. The victims are all women. The murders, which always take place at night, become increasingly vicious. Set in a rare false (strawberry) spring, thick fog provides perfect cover for the killer. The police have no leads. Panic sets in as students realize the killer could be anyone on campus. When the weather breaks, the murders stop. Eight years later, during the next strawberry spring, they begin anew.
