| Two years have passed since Lisey Landon’s husband, Scott, died. While she mourned her loss and found an emptiness and loneliness with his demise, the outside world never gave her a moment of peace. Everyone from college professors to paparazzi to collectors pulled stunts to get the grieving widow to acquiesce to their demands to allow them to catalogue his papers and publish his final manuscripts. Scott had been a rarity, as an extremely popular author with strong critical acclaim. The last intruder threatened to harm her if she failed to give him access.
Sick of everyone, Lisey decides peace will only come if she chooses to donate her beloved late spouse’s papers to a reputable archival library. She begins to organize his work while someone increases the threats to physically hurt her. Though frightened Lisey hears Scott's voice advising her to go to the dark place where he and his dead brother used to escape to hide from their psychopathic father and where he as an adult found his muse. She trusts his love for her and ventures to this dark place where beauty and horror reside side by side as Scott’s demons dominate; but here in Boo'ya Moon, her demons surface to destroy her if she lets them. This is a haunting love story that is part psychological horror and part parable, as Stephen King is at his best with the dangers of traveling through the darkness of the mind to reach a personal enlightenment. Readers see first hand what disturbed Scott and how he dealt with his nightmares as well as Lisey’s fears and strengths. While there is real potential harm from those making demands of Lisey, the most dangerous and ironically loveliest place in the world is the imagination. Mr. King is the king with this terrific touching tale. | |||
