I have gone years without reading Stephen King even though I was raised on him. My great aunt used to pick up copies of his paperback novels for a quarter at a consignment shop and send them to me when I was 10-14 and I inhaled everything I could. Perhaps this burned me out in regards to his writing. Regardless, I have read two of his books in the past few months and it feels good to be back in such capable hands. The short stories were great and this novel, Lisey's Story, although started years ago and set aside until now, was refreshing.
King has such a way with transporting the reader to a world that could, seemingly, never exist and he does so in a way that makes it seem like it should exist. So vivid and through, nibbling on the perfect details to round out the created environment for all senses.
This story creates and transports the reader to a different world perhaps more than any other he has written.
And I am happy for it. Boo'ya Moon was a creepy AND awe-inspiring place.
