About this eBook

In Derry, Maine, four young boys once stood together and did a brave thing. Something that changed them in ways they hardly understand.

A quarter of a century later, the boys are men who have gone their separate ways. Though they still get together once a year, to go hunting in the north woods of Maine. But this time is different. This time a man comes stumbling into their camp, lost, disoriented and muttering about lights in the sky.

Before long, these old friends will be plunged into the most remarkable events of their lives as they struggle with a terrible creature from another world. Their only chance of survival is locked in their shared past - and in the Dreamcatcher.

Ratings and reviews

Loved it from start to finish. If you haven't read it yet, then Scooby, Scooby Doo, you've got some work to do now!

Surely King's writing is subtle and book is LONG. It is a nasty read. I mean utterly nasty and stingy. Go for it if you can survive it's nasty alien slug.

Dunno why dreamcatcher is do low in the ratings. King writes as his best here. If you don't want or like a drawn out long detailed story, then sai king probably isn't for you. An awesome read. Thanks as usual Stephen.
