Soon to be a limited series starring Julianne Moore

The "haunting...tender, intimate book that makes an epic interior journey" (The New York Times), Lisey´s Story is a literary masterpiece-an extraordinarily moving and haunting portrait of a marriage and its aftermath.

Lisey lost her husband Scott two years ago, after a twenty-five year marriage of profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey knew there was a place Scott went-a place that both terrified and healed him, could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it´s Lisey´s turn to face Scott´s demons, to go to that terrifying place known as Boo´ya Moon. What begins as a widow´s effort to sort through the papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited.

"Intricate...Exhilirating" (The New Yorker), perhaps Stephen King´s most personal and powerful novel ever, Lisey´s Story is about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love. It is a beautiful, "rich portrait of a marriage, and the complicated affection that outlives death" (The Washington Post).
"Lisey´s Story is a wondrous novel of marriage, a love story steeped in strength and tenderness, and cast with the most vivid, touching, and believable characters in recent literature. I came to adore Lisey Landon and her sisters, I ached for Scott and all he´d been through, and when I finally reached the bittersweet and heartfelt conclusion, my first thought was that I wanted to start over again from the beginning, for it felt as if I were saying good-bye to old friends. This is Stephen King at his finest and most generous, a dazzling novel that you´ll thank yourself for reading long after the final page is turned." -- Nicholas Sparks, author of At First Sight and The Notebook
