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

This is my favourite Stephen King book - all of his intimately written characters and striking plots in a much easier to read length! As always, this promises so much more than the cover suggests; a rich story, unforgettable relationships, and a satisfyingly shocking ending. I think this is perfect if you’re not quite sure about committing to King’s larger books but still curious about what the hype is about. I promise it’s worth it!
