Stephen King Book Trailer For Duma Key

Video trailer for Stephen King's new book Duma Key.

Book Description:

No more than a dark pencil line on a blank page. A horizon line, maybe. But also a slot for blackness to pour through...

A terrible construction site accident takes Edgar Freemantle's right arm and scrambles his memory and his mind, leaving him with little but rage as he begins the ordeal of rehabilitation. A marriage that produced two lovely daughters suddenly ends, and Edgar begins to wish he hadn't survived the injuries that could have killed him. He wants out. His psychologist, Dr. Kamen, suggests a "geographic cure," a new life distant from the Twin Cities and the building business Edgar grew from scratch. And Kamen suggests something else.

"Edgar, does anything make you happy?"

"I used to sketch."

"Take it up again. You need hedges... hedges against the night."

Edgar leaves Minnesota for a rented house on Duma Key, a stunningly beautiful, eerily undeveloped splinter of the Florida coast. The sun setting into the Gulf of Mexico and the tidal rattling of shells on the beach call out to him, and Edgar draws. A visit from Ilse, the daughter he dotes on, starts his movement out of solitude. He meets a kindred spirit in Wireman, a man reluctant to reveal his own wounds, and then Elizabeth Eastlake, a sick old woman whose roots are tangled deep in Duma Key. Now Edgar paints, sometimes feverishly, his exploding talent both a wonder and a weapon. Many of his paintings have a power that cannot be controlled. When Elizabeth's past unfolds and the ghosts of her childhood begin to appear, the damage of which they are capable is truly devastating.
The tenacity of love, the perils of creativity, the mysteries of memory and the nature of the supernatural -- Stephen King gives us a novel as fascinating as it is gripping and terrifying.

My fav.'s were the dark towers, I liked this book though.

[RullyisJRM]

Bag of Bones is my favorite, too! And I was also reminded about it while reading Duma Key (but I still loved that one -- except the ending and climax). Haven't read Lisey's Story or Rose Madder, though.

Duma Key reminded me of Bag of Bones (my favorite novel by Mr. King). Lisey's Story reminded me of Rose Madder. Great book trailer.

[DARKWALKSAMONGU]

I understand there is a Crimson King like character here?

[JaridTobias]

"IT" came out a long time ago. Why were you going to buy Duma Key if you think all his books since then are long winded and boring?

[fetohuano]

lol I tough that was a videogame

[Diddodditopsecret]

Lisey's Story reminded me of bag of bones...Duma Key reminds me of Insomnia.

Stephen King is a Liberal asshole who said last week, "If you can't read, there is the Army and Iraq..."

I was literally leaving to go to Barnes & Nobles to buy Duma Key when I heard them talking about it on Fox News.

Needless to say, I didn't purchase his book, nor will I be buying his books again.

Besides, since "IT" came out, his books have been long-winded and boring. I won't be missing much...
