Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The plot of Duma Key, ghastly in itself but certain to bring horrified pleasure to King’s enormous readership, could have been sketched on the reverse side of Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray, a grisly examination of the magic of art.” New York Times Book Review
Duma Key is a tale of conflict between the forces of horror and the redemptive power of creativity…King may be meditating on the diverse powers of the creative soul, but he has in no way lost his unmatched gift for ensnaring and chilling his readers.” Washington Post
Duma Key…[is]Stephen King’s most brilliant novel to date…rich and rewarding…and as truly scary as anything King has written…King at the top of his game.” Amazon.com, editorial review
“A major psychological thriller from the master of scream.” Barnes&Noble.com, editorial review
