The Institute – Stephen King (Ukrainian Hardcover, 2025)

The Institute by Stephen King plunges readers into a harrowing, suspenseful world where children's extraordinary abilities make them prime targets for a sinister facility known only as "The Institute." The story follows Luke, a young boy whose parents are brutally murdered. Abducted and taken to a windowless compound, Luke awakens to discover that children with telepathic and telekinetic gifts are held captive and exploited under the ruthless direction of Mrs. Sigsby. Their powers are systematically drained in a tormenting regime reminiscent of nightmarish experiments. Luke, whose will to survive is as potent as his psychic potential, finds unlikely allies among the other children—and must fight to escape the horrors that threaten their very souls. 

This high-octane blend of psychological horror and sci-fi speculation showcases King's mastery of suspense, character depth, and unimaginable cruelty. Published by Клуб Сімейного Дозвілля (KSD) in 2025, the Ukrainian hardcover features 608 pages, measuring 135 × 205 mm, and sets a chilling benchmark for modern dark fantasy.
