He wants out. His psychologist suggests a new life distant from the Twin Cities, along with something else:   “Edgar, does anything make you happy?” “I used to sketch.” “Take it up again. You need hedges…hedges against the night.” Edgar leaves for Duma Key, an eerily undeveloped splinter of the Florida coast. The sun setting into the Gulf of Mexico calls out to him, and Edgar draws. Once he meets Elizabeth Eastlake, a sick old woman with roots tangled deep in Duma Key, Edgar begins to paint, sometimes feverishly; many of his paintings have a power that cannot be controlled. When Elizabeth’s past unfolds and the ghosts of her childhood begin to appear, the damage of which they are capable is truly devastating. The tenacity of love, the perils of creativity, the mysteries of memory, and the nature of the supernatural: Stephen King gives us a novel as fascinating as it is absorbing and terrifying. ©2008 Stephen King (P)2008 Simon and Schuster, Inc.
