Publisher Description
A STUNNING NEW NOVEL FROM ONE OF THE BEST-SELLING AUTHORS OF ALL TIME!
The #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
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.
"I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts. That combo made Hard Case Crime the perfect venue for this book, which is one of my favorites. I also loved the paperbacks I grew up with as a kid, and for that reason, we’re going to hold off on e-publishing this one for the time being. Joyland will be coming out in paperback, and folks who want to read it will have to buy the actual book." –Stephen King
Customer Reviews
Smooth and intriguing
King has a straight-forward and simple way of writing that makes his stories flow with ease. Very easy to get invested in his stories. Was stuck in the beginning third for a little bit; could’ve had more scary / thrilling parts. But the rest of the book I read in just about one sitting. Great climax, clear character arcs, perfect amount of intrigue and surprise. Overall a great story; would read this again as well as try some of his other works.
