A haunted love story set in the Maine territory King has made mythic, 'Bag of Bones' recounts the plight of forty-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan. He cannot stop grieving even four years after the sudden death of his wife and no longer can face the bland screen of his word processor. Now his nights are suddenly plagued by vivid nightmares of the cabin by the lake. Despite, or perhaps because of, Mike returns to the Noonan's isolated summer home in Sara Laughs. He finds the town familiar on the surface, but much changed underneath. The town is held in the grip of a powerful magnate, Max Devore, who twists the very fabric of the community for his purpose: to take his three-year-old granddaughter away from her widowed young mother. As Mike is drawn into the struggle, he falls in love with both of them and begins to rediscover his creative juice. All the while being further drawn into the ghostly visitations of Sara Laughs and his escalating nightmares! Printed and Bound in Great Britain by Mackay's of Chatham. 529 pages. Insured post. Combining elements from THE SHINING and REBECCA, BAG OF BONES is at once a first-rate suspense novel, a legal thriller, a haunted house story and a love story - it is King at his most accessible and compelling.
