About this eBook

Duma Key is a powerful suspense novel from No. 1 bestseller Stephen King, now with a new cover.

When Edgar Freemantle moves to the remote island of Duma Key, off Florida's coast, to escape his past, he doesn't expect to find much there.

But Duma has been waiting for him, and something in the view from his window urges him to discover a talent he never knew he had.

Edgar Freemantle begins to paint. And as he paints, the island's secrets begin to stir. Secrets of children lost in the undertow, of a ghost ship riding the distant horizon - and a family's buried past reaching long hands into the present.

Stephen King will forever be my favourite author and has been since I was a child and now my memory isn't as good as it used to be I get to enjoy his stories all over again! Thankyou for the intense and immense emotions and the joy of reading your creations that have made me roar with laughter, cringe with fear and pulled so many different emotions from me, I didn't think were even possible anymore! A master with words!

A good read. but the scary elements are far and few. still I took its hold on me and kept me there through the whole story. You read something and think: "what was that about" and later you get the aha feeling.

It is outright scary novel that's for sure. King truly expresses a simple script in his own taste of horror. Yes it is long, typical King's lengthy details.It could have been edited well. Still it doesn't make it less interesting. Plus it will a good read for beach lovers. Hurry! Book your trip to Duma.
