About this listen

Everything is familiar. But everything has changed.

Coming back to the little community is like walking into a nightmare for Jim Gardener, poet, drunk, potential suicide.

It all looks the same: the house; the furniture; Jim's friend, Bobbi; her beagle (though ageing); even the woods out at the back. But it was in the woods that Bobbi stumbled over the odd, part-buried object and felt a peculiar tingle as she brushed the soft earth away.

Everything is familiar. But everything is about to change.

As always, Stephen King manages to imbue everyday mundanity with quiet horror, here triggered by an outside force but then amplified by our own insecurities and instincts. There is sweet redemption in the end, making this a bittersweet favourite.

I have been a fan of Stephen King's books since I was a teen and even though this book has had bad reviews from both author and fans I still think this is a fabulous book! Lots of suspense and mystery. Loved Edward Herrmann's voice!
