As an avid Stephen King fan I was definately not disappointed!

Duma key is the story of Edgar Freemantle who loses his arm and suffers head trauma as a result of an on site accident. After the breakdown of his marriage he goes to live in Duma Key to help his rehabilitation. It is here he re-discovers his talent of painting which portray upcoming tradgedies which he is powerless to stop and forgotten secrets of the Island, which Edgar then seeks to uncover and as a sinister force unveils itself he needs to find a way to stop it, with the help of his new found friend wireman.

King's never failing vivid description helps the reader to both build strong images of the key characters and to an extent form a connection and understanding. In addition to being a classic horror, this themes of this book include friendship, love and tradgedy.

This is a long book at 688 pages but a gripping page turner.

Summary: Stephen King at his best
