Stephen King really drives it home with his writing, and this one was no different. There was definitely supernatural terror, but there were also some truly realistic type fears within the book, which I think made it that much more frightening. Honestly, I was a couple hundred pages into the book wondering if it was actually a horror novel, or even a thriller, before the terror started to set in. The writing was smooth, the story intense. Plus, at 611 pages, it's a pretty tame Stephen King novel, if I do say so myself.Īnyways, I immediately connected to Edgar. Anyways, when I got to Googling best-sellers for 2008, Duma Key was on the list and on my bookshelf, so it was the perfect chance to get to reading. Apparently a King fan had recently had a purge of books. In fact, it's not a Stephen King book I'd really ever heard anything about, but I once bought it (along with about seven other King books) at the Goodwill, and a first edition nonetheless. This isn't a Stephen King book I've heard a lot of praise for.
Reading Duma Key has been one the most enjoyable (and frightening) reading experiences for me this entire year. And something's not quite right about Duma Key either. But something's not quite right about his artwork. While there, he gets back into creating art - a small hobby he had as a child.
