Stephen King’s #1 New York Times bestseller “is as fresh as a Hemingway sentence is short. And it’s no mistake to have those two authors’ names in the same sentence.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“First-rate entertainment. . . . A return to form for a beloved pop novelist. . . . Perhaps Duma Key’s setting—it is King’s first Florida novel—accounts for its fresh vigor and supreme craftsmanship.”
—South Florida Sun-Sentinel
“In essence, a classic Gothic tale of terror. . . .”
“At its core it’s a horror story, but with enough emotional complications to keep you turning the pages.”
“May be the finest prose King has ever written. . . . You’ll relish the journey.”
—Rocky Mountain News (Denver)
“A tale of conflict between the forces of horror and the redemptive power of creativity. . . . King has in no way lost his unmatched gift for ensnaring and chilling his readers with ‘terrible fishbelly fingers.’ ”
Duma Key is also available from Simon & Schuster Audio.
“Exerts a relentless tidal pull. . . . The last third goes into overdrive . . . [but] the less action-packed aspects of the story manage to be just as compelling.”
“This book is a slow burn, and the better for it. . . . As with the recent Lisey’s Story, there’s the thrilling sense of a master determined not only to flex his muscles but develop them too.”
