Publisher Description
“Joyland is a breathtaking, beautiful, heartbreaking book....Even the most hardboiled readers will find themselves moved” (Charles Ardai, Edgar- and Shamus Award-winning editor of Hard Case Crime).
Set in a small-town North Carolina amusement park in 1973, Joyland tells the story of the summer in which college student Devin Jones comes to work as a carny and confronts the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and the ways both will change his life forever. Joyland is a brand-new novel and has never previously been published.
Customer Reviews
Beautiful
Not really pulp crime fiction, but the story has lurid elements that carnivals trade in. King’s writing is slight, adding to the plot which is relatable. A great book.
So so good
There isn’t much to say about Stephen King other than he is brilliant. He writes with such grace. This story, while not his typical, was amazing. Loved it and loved the narration which brought all to life. 10/10 for sure.
Joyland
