The first story
Stephen King wrote specifically for a television miniseries,
Storm of the Century is set in Little Tall Island, a small town off the coast of Maine. The citizens are bracing themselves for what is expected to be the worst snowstorm in 100 years when a mysterious stranger named
Andre Linoge (
Colm Feore) arrives with a simple command: "Give me what I want and I'll go away."
Andre is, in fact, an emissary of Satan, and what he wants is one of the children of Little Tall Island, whom he will raise to take over his assignment on Earth -- it seems that Satan's lifespan, although far longer than that of a normal human, is not unlimited, and he will need a replacement for that time when he must vacate his position.
Andre knows everyone's secrets and can make their lives a living hell (no pun intended); he can also destroy the city at will. And only one person in town has the strength to stand up to
Andre -- the sheriff,
Mike Anderson (
Tim Daly). While originally written for television,
Stephen King's novelization of
Storm of the Century was published shortly after the series was originally broadcast.
