The King of Horror is set to return with a new book hitting shelves in May of 2025.
Stephen King has a new book called Never Flinch which is set to arrive in May, according to a report on Entertainment Weekly.
The novel features intertwining storylines — one about a killer on a diabolical revenge mission and another about a vigilante stalking a feminist celebrity speaker. In addition, the story will feature some of King’s familiar characters, including Holly Gibney and gospel singer Sista Bessie.
The synopsis reads: “When the Buckeye City Police Department receives a disturbing letter from a person threatening to ‘kill thirteen innocents and one guilty’ in ‘an act of atonement for the needless death of an innocent man,’ Detective Izzy Jaynes has no idea what to think,” reads the book’s description. “Are fourteen citizens about to be slaughtered in an unhinged act of retribution? As the investigation unfolds, Izzy realizes that the letter writer is deadly serious, and she turns to her friend Holly Gibney for help. Meanwhile, controversial and outspoken women’s rights activist Kate McKay is embarking on a multi-state lecture tour, drawing packed venues of both fans and detractors,” it continues. “Someone who vehemently opposes Kate’s message of female empowerment is targeting her and disrupting her events. At first, no one is hurt, but the stalker is growing bolder, and Holly is hired to be Kate’s bodyguard – a challenging task with a headstrong employer and a determined adversary driven by wrath and his belief in his own righteousness.”
Never Flinch is set to arrive on May 27, 2025. Keep it locked to Horror News Network for more on Stephen King.
