Revival

A new minister arrives in a small Maine town with a fascination for electricity, and Jamie Morton's life bends around him for the next fifty years. Revival follows that long acquaintance from childhood through addiction and recovery to a final experiment nobody should attempt. Stephen King builds the dread slowly, working through ordinary American decades of bands, touring, family and illness before the story turns towards what Charles Jacobs believes lies past death. The debt to gothic and cosmic horror is deliberate, and the closing pages are among the bleakest King has written. What the book delivers: • A relationship traced across five decades • Slow-building dread rooted in ordinary American life • Themes of faith, addiction, grief and scientific obsession • Gothic and cosmic horror influences carried into a modern setting For adult readers of horror and supernatural fiction, this Hodder Books edition is available from Boipoka.
