Usually, the lot of literary widows is pleasant and spirit lifting: accepting posthumous honors; collecting royalties; answering inquiries from hero-worshipping fans. But, for Lisey, the survivor of famous writer Scott Landon, her new role has engulfed her in shades of hell.

Lisey's troubles form only an extended preamble to this tale, which is vintage King.

Lisey's Story by Stephen King is a story about Lisey and the love she has for her husband. I adore King's work, and this book was no exception. To me, this is a love story only the way King can do it, and of course there is imagination running amok. All I can say is that I loved it, but I'm bias w...
