STEPHEN KING
Returns with a Novel of Carny Lifeβand Death . . .
College student Devin Jones took the summer job at Joyland hoping to forget the girl who broke his heart. But he wound up facing something far more terrible: the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and dark truths about lifeβand what comes afterβthat would change his world forever.
Life is Not Always a Butcherβs Game.
Sometimes the Prizes Are Real.
Sometimes Theyβre Precious.
A riveting story about love and loss, about growing up and growing oldβand about those who donβt get to do either because death comes for them before their timeβJOYLAND is Stephen King at the peak of his storytelling powers. With all the emotional impact of King masterpieces such as The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption , JOYLAND is at once a mystery, a horror story, and a bittersweet coming-of-age novel, one that will leave even the most hard-boiled reader profoundly moved.
