About this ebook

Duma Key is a powerful suspense novel from No. 1 bestseller Stephen King, now with a new cover.

When Edgar Freemantle moves to the remote island of Duma Key, off Florida's coast, to escape his past, he doesn't expect to find much there.

But Duma has been waiting for him, and something in the view from his window urges him to discover a talent he never knew he had.

Edgar Freemantle begins to paint. And as he paints, the island's secrets begin to stir. Secrets of children lost in the undertow, of a ghost ship riding the distant horizon - and a family's buried past reaching long hands into the present.

Ratings and reviews

It is outright scary novel that's for sure. King truly expresses a simple script in his own taste of horror. Yes it is long, typical King's lengthy details.It could have been edited well. Still it doesn't make it less interesting. Plus it will a good read for beach lovers. Hurry! Book your trip to Duma.

I read this book a couple of years ago was really suprised at how good it actually was. Fascinating story and had me hooked from beginning to end. Another masterpiece from the master of horror Stephen King

Anyone with a creative vent will understand the feeling that some things create themselves. Stephen King spun that out into a wonder filled, eerie, disturbing tale that stays with you long after you finish the book
