On the surface this is a romance of memories as a widow looks back on her marriage to a famous writer, but being Stephen King there is obviously far more to it than that.
This is a long book which gives itself time to build slowly, drawing you in with hints and incomplete explanations, weaving together past and present, memory, reality and dream. At its heart is the place of inspiration, a literal Other World, accessible to all but visited by few, full of terrors and wonders. Lisey’s Story works on many levels and lingers long after it is done.
NOW WITH A STUNNING NEW COVER LOOK, COMES STEPHEN KING'S HIGHLY ACCLAIMED 'PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER OF EXTRAORDINARY SENSITIVITY' (INDEPENDENT) Every marriage has two hearts, one light and one dark. Lisey knew it when she first fell for Scott. And now he's dead, she knows it for sure. Lisey was the light to Scott Landon's dark for twenty-five years. As his wife, only she saw the truth behind the public face of the famous author - that he was a haunted man whose bestselling novels were based on a terrifying reality. Now Scott has gone, Lisey wants to lock herself away with her memories. But the fans have other ideas. And when the sinister threats begin, Lisey realises that, just as Scott depended on her strength - her light - to live, so she will have to draw on his darkness to survive. 'A love story steeped in strength and tenderness . . . dazzling' Nicholas Sparks
