Publisher Description
Unas pinturas de sorprendente fuerza y maestría podrían estar inspiradas en una terrible maldición...
Tras sufrir un grave accidente, la vida del constructor millonario Edgard Fremantle cambia radicalmente. Ha perdido un brazo, se separa de su mujer y decide trasladarse a Duma Key para dedicarse a pintar.
El paisaje de este cayo en Florida, con viejas casonas y una vegetación tropical, y la extraña propietaria de la isla desatan en Edgar una fiebre creadora sobrenatural: los paisajes surrealistas, los mares embravecidos y las muñecas que dibuja parecen formar parte de un aterrador mensaje de advertencia...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In bestseller King's well-crafted tale of possession and redemption, Edgar Freemantle, a successful Minnesota contractor, barely survives after the Dodge Ram he's driving collides with a 12-story crane on a job site. While Freemantle suffers the loss of an arm and a fractured skull, among other serious injuries, he makes impressive gains in rehabilitation. Personality changes that include uncontrollable rages, however, hasten the end of his 20-year-plus marriage. On his psychiatrist's advice, Freemantle decides to start anew on a remote island in the Florida Keys. To his astonishment, he becomes consumed with making art first pencil sketches, then paintings that soon earns him a devoted following. Freemantle's artwork has the power both to destroy life and to cure ailments, but soon the Lovecraftian menace that haunts Duma Key begins to assert itself and torment those dear to him. The transition from the initial psychological suspense to the supernatural may disappoint some, but even those few who haven't read King (Lisey's Story) should appreciate his ability to create fully realized characters and conjure horrors that are purely manmade.
