Lisey’s Story

Perhaps Stephen King’s most personal and powerful novel to date, Lisey’s Story is a beautifully textured suspense narrative about the wellsprings of creativity, the tempt’ons of madness and the secret language of love. ‘To the public eye, the spouses of well- known writers are all but invisible, and no one knew it better than Lisey Landon.’ That is until the maddeningly humid, maddeningly muggy day her husband Scott, a celebrated, award-winning novelist, inaugurated the site of a new library in Nashville. The day that started with a broken toothglass… Years later, Lisey is ruminating on their marriage of twenty-five years, a marriage of profound, sometimes frightening intimacy. Lisey has always known there was a dark place where her husband ventured to face his demons. Boo’ya Moon is what Scott called it; a realm that both terrified and healed him, that could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed to write and live. Now it’s Lisey’s turn to face her husband’s demons. And what begins as a widow’s effort to sort through her husband’s effects becomes a perilous journey into the heart of darkness. –front flap
