Twan, a recent high school dropout, does what he must to survive in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Life isn't easy, but he makes it work, even though he's not a d-boy or a gangster. Twan takes a different route. Pimpin' is his game. He doesn't believe there's any such thing as a hoe that's too ratchett. A hoe means dough. Twan doesn't care how ratchett she is or if she's a damned runaway if she pays. For him, all hoes are cash cows. All Twan wants to do is rep for BR and put the Southside on the map. The only problem is his crackhead mama, Lela, keeps setting him back. His high school sweetheart, Neese, chases him around the BR streets refusing to let him go. And, his new chick threatens to bring the kind of trouble that can get a pimp killed or double digits in the pen. Will Twan get trapped or cracked trying to pimp BR onto the map?

Pages : 480
Book Description
Now a Netflix movie directed by Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Hush) and starring Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood. Master storyteller Stephen King presents this classic, terrifying #1 New York Times bestseller. When a game of seduction between a husband and wife ends in death, the nightmare has only begun… “And now the voice which spoke belonged to no one but herself. Oh my God, it said. Oh my God, I am all alone out here. I am all alone.” Once again, Jessie Burlingame has been talked into submitting to her husband Gerald’s kinky sex games—something that she’s frankly had enough of, and they never held much charm for her to begin with. So much for a “romantic getaway” at their secluded summer home. After Jessie is handcuffed to the bedposts—and Gerald crosses a line with his wife—the day ends with deadly consequences. Now Jessie is utterly trapped in an isolated lakeside house that has become her prison—and comes face-to-face with her deepest, darkest fears and memories. Her only company is that of the various voices filling her mind…as well as the shadows of nightfall that may conceal an imagined or very real threat right there with her…
