Product Description:
Stephen King's most gripping and unforgettable novel, Bag of Bones, is a story of grief and a lost love's enduring bonds, of a new love haunted by the secrets of the past, of an innocent child caught in a terrible crossfire.
Set in the Maine territory King has made mythic, Bag of Bones recounts the plight of forty-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan, who is unable to stop grieving even four years after the sudden death of his wife, Jo, and who can no longer bear to face the blank screen of his word processor.
Now his nights are plagued by vivid nightmares of the house by the lake. Despite these dreams, or perhaps because of them, Mike finally returns to Sara Laughs, the Noonans' isolated summer home where he is drawn into the mystery of Sara Laughs, now the site of ghostly visitations, ever-escalating nightmares, and the sudden recovery of his writing ability.
Amazon.com Review:
No longer content to be the prolific provider of text, King grabs the audio reigns to recount this haunted tale of grief, young love, and otherworldly visits. When 40-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan returns to his lakeside cabin to process his wife's death, he finds the place a beacon for nightmares and ghoulish visits. But there's hope in Kingsville, as this struggling writer falls in love with a young widow named Mattie and her 3-year-old psychic daughter, Kyra. If you've never heard King speak, be warned: 19-plus hours of his western Maine, nasal-drenched tones may be more than some listeners can bear. But there's a certain warmth and believability to King's voice--after all, it's his book and he is a middle-aged bestselling novelist--that jive well with Noonan's character. And since King rarely reads his own work, perhaps his doing so indicates that he's especially pleased with Bag of Bones; most listeners should be as well. (Running time: 19.5 hours, 14 cassettes) --Rob McDonald

- Good Reading on Three LevelsI'll risk looking gushy and amateurish according to the standards of book reviewing (see The Slippery Art of Book Reviewing) by giving Bag of Bones 5 stars. So be it--I'll leave the literary analysis to those more qualified. I'll skip a plot summary, too, since there's a nice one-pager for this book on Wikipedia. Bag of Bones stands out from three different perspectives. If you connect with even one of them, the read is well worth your time.
First, it's a solid ghost story. The ... Read More

- My Personal favorite Stephen King BookI love this book. I have read nearly all of King's works and this is my all time favorite. I was reading late at night, and scared half to death! It was great!! Everyone else leaving reviews has left details about the plot line, so I will not go into it, except to say that I found it brilliant. I love the Dark Tower Series, but for a great ghost story that is totally "fit for a King", this is a terrific story. I am sure that anyone looking for an eerie thrill will enjoy reading this book, even if ... Read More

- The only book good enough for me to read all the way throughThis is a great book, and Kings most underrated stories. It was easy to read through, but still gave just enough detail to paint a picture. The story bittersweet, one of both tragedy and triumph. The characters seemed real, vivid, and people you could actually feel for.
This is the only book in my whole life that I've actually read all the way through, which should tell you something. I'm not going to give to much of the storyline, but it is about a guy approaching middle age, and lonely ... Read More

- Nope, nothing wrong hereI've always known that King had the writing chops and even a literary streak with such knock-outs as "The Dead Zone", "Pet Sematary", and "Misery", but "Bag of Bones" is by far the pinnacle of his achievements. He has alot to say about grieving, marriage, and the secret act of writing. I've always thought King was at his best when his main characters were writers, not only because he knows what he's talking about, but they each seem to reveal to the reader bits and pieces of Stephen King himself.

- Look Homeward, AngelThrough quintessential characters who practice unbridled evil, author Stephen King combines his wry sense of humor with steely commentary on pop culture, authors and politics and a supernatural underworld of murder, suicide and death for a macabre classic.
An author devoid of novel ideas, along with a young mother and her child, wear scarlet letters from a town's past where layers of lies have hidden a hideous crime. And in a vicious game of payback played for nearly a century, it is the children ... Read More
