Summary
Welcome to Desperation.
Once a thriving copper-mining town in the middle of the Nevada desert, Desperation is now eerily abandoned. It's the last place that travellers like the Carver family, bound for vacation, and writer Johnny Marinville, astride his Harley, would expect to be stopped and charged. But Desperation still has a local cop - a unique regulator who patrols the wilderness highway.
The secrets buried in Desperation are as terrifying as the forces summoned to encounter them. A terrifying transformation is taking place, and the travellers will soon discover the true meaning of desperation....

Utterly fantastic!!
Stephen King is a literary genius. Having him read the story adds 100% authenticity so it’s read exactly as intended.Thank you Stephen!

Such a classic!!
Body-horror and existentialism in perfect harmony. A King classic read by the man himself 💃🏻😍

Stephen King at his best!
This was so much better as it was read by the master himself. Great to hear one of his stories comes alive through his own voice - literally!

Blood soaked joy
Loved every second of this brutal classic. Read it when I was a teenager and it's as powerful now as it was then.
Only problem I had with reading are SK's glottal 'Ls'!. There's a glot of times that gletter is used. Gloved it tho!

Great to hear the story told by the author
Good story, made even better with Stephen reading it. Story builds and ends well. Just enough hanging to leave an opening for a sequel!

Takes you right in
I found the opening a little bit depressing. But from then on fantastic. Shame it ended.

Not one of King's best
I've long been a fan of Stephen King and was looking forward to this. Unfortunately, Desperation is not one of his best. The second half drags and parts are not very clear.
The narration by Stephen King himself, however, is excellent as ever.

Would make an excellent movie.
This novel would make a brilliant film if it was directed by a top notch director say, Ridley Scott.
