Publisher's summary

Everything is familiar. But everything has changed.

Coming back to the little community is like walking into a nightmare for Jim Gardener, poet, drunk, potential suicide.

It all looks the same: the house; the furniture; Jim's friend, Bobbi; her beagle (though ageing); even the woods out at the back. But it was in the woods that Bobbi stumbled over the odd, part-buried object and felt a peculiar tingle as she brushed the soft earth away.

Everything is familiar. But everything is about to change.

One of the best King novels

Very solid story, no complaints at all. That’ll surely has to be a must read.

A little editing and this would be brilliant

Suffice it to say, for my part, Mr. King can do no wrong. Wonderful storyteller that he is, I thoroughly enjoy everything that he pens and deigns to share with us mere mortals. As a novel, this gets long winded at points. But, it is so well written, you forgive it. But I would agree, that a serious edit would do the novel a world of good. Although, even after two plus decades, I have still enjoyed this tale tremendously.
