When Survival Turns Supernatural

Rosie Daniels spends nine years walking on eggshells—then one morning she just walks out. What follows is a pulse-pounding chase through city streets, Greek-myth dreamscapes, and the darkest corners of the human mind.

Stephen King blends raw realism with uncanny horror, proving once more he can make even a paint-splattered canvas feel dangerous.

Why Readers Keep Turning Pages

  • Grit meets magic. Domestic-abuse escape story collides with surreal mythology—classic King fusion.
  • Sharp character work. Rosie’s steady courage and Norman’s chilling rage feel scarily real.
  • Collector status. First edition, first printing from Viking—hard to find in solid shape.
  • Bonus margin voice. Prior owner left neat notes praising King’s “glorious metaphors”—a personal touch for fellow Constant Readers.
