Stephen King never fails to creep me out and this book is no exception. Told in a combination of present day and flashback, it takes a little while to figure out what’s going on, but this simply adds to the ominous quality of the story. I found it difficult to put this book down and there were several places where I actually jumped. Duma Key is technically well written, in King’s characteristic style and the characters are truly alive. This is a wonderful, frightening novel and readers will not be disappointed.
