Author: Stephen King
Book: Duma Key
Genre: Horror
Julia Rating: 10
Comments: As you can tell, I am a Stephen King fan. I believe that Duma Key is the most recent King novel and I loved it. It was a slow starter, but I think it was worth it. There is tons of foreshadowing in this one, it was incredibly suspenseful… making you wonder who was going to die and when through the majority of the book.
There were factors of Carrie in this one – not just that it’s about a telepathic-type story. Throughout Carrie there are newspaper articles, but throughout this book there are emails interspersed.
The story is about a man named Edgar Freemantle – a construction executive/millionaire – who suffers a traumatic brain injury when his truck is crushed by a defunct tractor. He becomes estranged from his wife and, under direction from his psychologist, moves to Duma Key in Florida. There he discovers a painting ability he never knew he had. As the ability grows, things start happening – both on the Key and off that make Edgar believe he can paint things into existance.
Little does he know – there is a force on the Key that becomes more powerful the more he develops his ability… and that’s all I’m going to tell you.
