About this listen
Includes an Exclusive Interview with Stephen King and Apple TV+
Perhaps Stephen King's most personal and powerful novel and audiobook, LISEY'S STORY is a beautifully textured suspense narrative about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness and the secret language of love. Read by Mare Winningham.
Every marriage has two hearts, one light and one dark.
Lisey knew it when she first fell for Scott. And now he's dead, she knows it for sure.
Lisey was the light to Scott Landon's dark for twenty-five years. As his wife, only she saw the truth behind the public face of the famous author - that he was a haunted man whose bestselling novels were based on a terrifying reality.
Now Scott has gone, Lisey wants to lock herself away with her memories. But the fans have other ideas. And when the sinister threats begin, Lisey realises that, just as Scott depended on her strength - her light - to live, so she will have to draw on his darkness to survive.

"Seriously creepy stories are more frightening heard than read. Your eye can skim the page, minimising the effect of the nasty bits, but such horrors become aqonisingly long and drawn out when narrated unabridged. Unabridged listening is the only way to do jsutice to the style and skill of such masters of the macabre as Stephen King." (The Times)
"Stephen King at his finest...a dazzling novel." (Nicholas Sparks)
"In Lisey's Story, Stephen King makes bold, brilliant use of his satanic storytelling gift, his angelic ear for language and, above all, his incomparable ability to find the epic in the ordinary." (Michael Chabon)
"Lisey's Story is bright and brilliant. It's dark and desperate. While I'll always consider The Shining, my first ride on King's wild Tilt-A-Whirl, a gorgeous, bloody jewel, I found, on this latest ride, a treasure box heaped with dazzling gems. A few of them have sharp, hungry teeth." (Nora Roberts)

Absolutely beautiful story. Thank you Steve :) Perfectly presented by Made Winningham. Sad to be finished. Lovely tale, with a few great baddies.

Fabulous Bravo
I was enthralled with another journey Stephen King has taken me on. I found a tear rolling down my cheek as the journey ended.
My mum used to say that this man was from another planet. I tend to agree with her now.

headline optional
Slow start, but what a trip! An adventure in humanity, relationships, love, loss, good versus evil, humour and pathos. All the things with which Stephen King enlivens his characters and I return for book after book. Thank you.

Not bad
I must admit It took me a while to understand where this story was headed but eventually it came together to explore the tormented lives of Lisey and Scott; and to give us a glimpse into the other world in Stephen King’s universe. The voice acting was good and overall I enjoyed this experience.

Trigger warning
Trigger warning, graphic self harm. Great novel, this is will make 15 king novels near enough to a row… on to the next.
This one is up there with:
Misery
Dead zone
And Duma Key.
The narrator is fantastic!

Great Story
As a Stephen King fan, I really enjoyed the story, but I struggled with the narrator, a bit monotone I felt for the book. But I finished it and I'm glad I did.

One of Stephen King's best books
I haven't loved all of Stephen King's books in recent years, but this one was sublime. The character development as usual was perfect. The story unfolded at a good pace and was suitably horrifying and human at the same time, as Stephen King does so well. I even shed a tear or two. Recommended if you live Stephen King.

AMAZING story!
A great story that has you hooked the entire read. Lots of twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. Also we'll read by the narrator.
