Read An Excerpt From Stephen King’s Next Novel, The Institute

Yesterday, Stephen King announced on his website the publication of his next novel: The Institute. Now, Entertainment Weekly has your exclusive first look at the book.

As a refresher, here’s the official synopsis:

“In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders murder Luke Ellis’ parents and load him into a black SUV. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there’s no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents — telekinesis and telepathy — who got to this place the same way Luke did. In this most sinister of institutions, the staff is ruthlessly dedicated to extracting from these children the force of their extranormal gifts. As each new victim disappears, Luke becomes more and more desperate to get out and get help. But no one has ever escaped from The Institute.”

The Institute publishes September 10 and is available for pre-order.
