Joyland (Hard Case Crime Book 112)

From Barnes & NobleAny new novel by Stephen King generates excitement. What makes this trade paperback original doubly exciting is that this full-length fiction set in 1973 has the feel of one of his horror classics. At the center of Joyland is Devin Jones, a 21-year-old college student whose summer job at a North Carolina amusement turns out to be an unanticipated extreme learning experience. While others his age are riding the Ferris wheel or reveling in the carny life, Devin becomes entangled in a four-year-old cold case homicide. A haunted, haunting coming-of-age novel that you won't forget. Pile it high; watch it fly.





The Washington Post
- Bill Sheehan
…a moving, immensely appealing coming-of-age tale that encompasses restless ghosts, serial murder, psychic phenomena and sexual initiation…The melodramatic aspects of the story are great fun, but the real strength of Joyland stems from King's ability to connect with his characters directly and viscerally.
