In a small New England town, in the early 60s, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs Jacobs; the women and girls β including Jamieβs mother and beloved sister β feel the same about Reverend Jacobs. With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond, based on their fascination with simple experiments in electricity.
Then tragedy strikes the Jacobs family; the preacher curses God, mocking all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town.
Jamie has demons of his own. In his mid-thirties, he is living a nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll. Addicted to heroin, stranded, desperate, he sees Jacobs again β a showman on stage, creating dazzling βportraits in lightningβ β and their meeting has profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devilβs devising, and Jamie discovers thatrevivalhas many meanings. Because for every cure there is a priceβ¦
This rich and disturbing novel spans five decades on its way to the most terrifying conclusion Stephen King has ever written. Itβs a masterpiece from King, in the great American tradition of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe.
