When Edgar Freemantle moves to the remote island of Duma Key to escape his past, he doesn't expect to find much there.

But Duma has been waiting for him. The shells beneath his house are whispering to him, and something in the view from his window urges him to discover a talent he never knew he had.

Edgar Freemantle begins to paint. And as he paints, the island's secrets begin to stir. Secrets of children lost in the undertow, of a ghost ship riding the distant horizon - and a family's buried past reaching long hands into the present. --back cover

Mauro recenserade Duma Key av Stephen King

Action and adventure with cheesy horror elements.

3 stjärnor

I've been reading Stephen King's novels since I was a kid in the early nineties. But I think I'm done for good now. Don't get me wrong, the Master of Terror is always entertaining, but I find his stories too based into a mundane American landscape (psychological and physical) that doesn't belong to me at all. And his insistence on making the reader cringe with weird use of young kids and such in his plots it's getting on my nerves, honestly. Like some low blows that are way too predictable to be effective.

Nonetheless, Duma Key was, again, entertaining like an obvious Hollywood movie, which resembling an old blanket is always there to comfort you but never to amaze.
