The haunting tender, intimate book that makes an epic interior journey (The New York Times), Lisey s Story is a literary masterpiece an extraordinarily moving and haunting portrait of a marriage and its aftermath.
Lisey lost her husband Scott after a twenty-five-year marriage of profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey knew there was a place Scott visited a place that both terrified and healed him, could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live and create. Now, two years after Scott s death, it s Lisey s turn to face his demons, to go to that terrifying place known as Boo ya Moon. What begins as a widow s effort to sort through the vast papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited.
Intricate...exhilarating (The New Yorker), perhaps Stephen King s most personal and powerful novel ever, Lisey s Story is about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love. It is a beautiful, rich portrait of a marriage, and the complicated affection that outlives death (The Washington Post). Says Michael Chabon, In Lisey s Story, Stephen King makes bold, brilliant use of his satanic storytelling gift, his angelic ear for language, and, above all, his incomparable ability to find the epic in the ordinary.
