Stephen King has written a new book, Duma Key. Here is a short synopsis:
The protagonist of the book is self-made millionaire Edgar Freemantle, a mover and a shaker in the construction business. While on the job, Edgar gets hurt and crippled. A crane smashes his truck and he loses an arm in the subsequent operations to save his life. Edgar struggles to get rehabilitated and adjust to his life, and I know a lot of what King went through after being struck by a negligent driver has to be in those pages.
Unable to get his life together, Edgar turns on his wife and family. After he attacks her and tries to kill her, his wife asks for a divorce. Edgar divides up his money among his family and seeks counseling. His counselor asks Edgar if there wasn’t something that he used to do that took the edge of during periods of stress. Edgar says that he used to draw. The counselor advises him to do that. Then, you guessed it, he moves to Duma Key, and horrible things start happening.
