It is the story of four lifelong friends: Gary Ambrose 'Jonesy' Jones, Pete Moore.
Jonesy, Beaver, Henry and Pete reunite for their annual hunting trip at the Hole-in-the-Wall, an isolated lodge in the Jefferson Tract. There, they become caught between an alien invasion and an insane US Army Colonel, Abraham Kurtz. Jonesy and Beaver, who remain at the cabin while Henry and Pete go out for supplies, encounter Richard McCarthy, a disoriented and delirious stranger wandering near the lodge during a blizzard talking about lights in the sky. The victim of an alien abduction, McCarthy grows sicker and dies while sitting on the toilet. An extraterrestrial parasite eats its way out of his body and attacks the two men, killing Beaver. Jonesy inhales the spores of the strange reddish fungus that the stranger and his parasite have spread around the cabin, and an alien entity ('Mr. Gray') takes over his mind.
On the return trip from their supply run, Henry and Pete encounter a woman from the same hunting party as the strange man at the cabin. She is also delirious and infected with a parasite. After crashing their car, Henry leaves Pete with the woman and attempts to regain the cabin by foot. From there, his telepathic senses let him know that Pete is in trouble, Beaver is dead, and Jonesy is no longer Jonesy. Mr. Gray, manipulating Jonesy's body, is attempting to leave the area. The aliens have attempted to infect Earth multiple times, beginning with the Roswell crash in the 1940s, but environmental factors have always stopped them, and the US government has covered up the failed invasion attempts every time. With the infection of Jonesy, who can contain the alien within his mind and also spread the infection, Mr. Gray has become the perfect Typhoid Mary—and he knows it.
It becomes up to Henry—by now a quarantined prisoner of the Army—to convince the military to go after Jonesy/Mr. Gray before it is too late. Jonesy himself, now a prisoner in his own mind, tries to help. Both of them are convinced that their old friend Duddits may be the key to saving the world.

The four men had grown up together in Derry and had shared many adventures running the streets and playing in the Barrens. As children, the four friends had helped Douglas 'Duddits' Cavell, a boy with Down Syndrome, when a bully was beating tormenting him.

Stephen King wrote Dreamcatcher while recovering from injuries that he received after he was struck by a van while jogging. In 2003, it was adapted to film by veteran screenwriter William Goldman who also wrote the screenplays for Misery,Hearts in Atlantis and Dolores Claiborne (uncredited).
In 2011, Derry returned to the center of activity for the adventures of Jake Epping aka George Amberson.Epping, a high school English teacher, discovered a unique feature in the town of Derry – a 'bubble' that allowed a person with enough courage to step back in time.Epping was not the first to discover it.In fact, he was shown the time-warping'bubble' by local restaurant owner Al Templeton.

Duddits Stephen King WikipediaAfter the encouragement of Templeton, Epping walked into the past with a mission at hand.He then set out on a multiple-layered adventure that leads him into a destined meeting with historical figures and events in American history.In 1958 Derry, Epping made the acquaintance of several residents previously discussed including Richie Tozier and Beverly Marsh. 

In Epping's adventures in the 'Land of Ago,' he traveled from Maine to Florida, and then through Alabama to Texas. He discovered that every action made in the past leads to a consequence in the future.This phenomenon, known as 'the Butterfly Effect, was first identified in the writings of Ray Bradbury.Epping learned that the past will fight to protect the future; a lesson hard learned. (To read the full adventures of Jake Epping, see 11/22/63, 2011)
NOTE: Since 11/22/63 was recently released, I intentionally gave vague descriptions about it in this article.
Stephen King wrote 11/22/63 between January 2009 and December 2010.King visited many, if not all, of the places discussed in the book including the locations in Dallas associated with the Kennedy Assassination.He states in the 'Afterword' that he first started this book in 1972, but decided to put it on hold until a later time. Thankfully, King returned to this idea and completed it.
