Perhaps Stephen King's most personal and powerful novel and audiobook, LISEY'S STORY is a beautifully textured suspense narrative about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness and the secret language of love. Read by Mare Winningham.

Every marriage has two hearts, one light and one dark.

Lisey knew it when she first fell for Scott. And now he's dead, she knows it for sure.

Lisey was the light to Scott Landon's dark for twenty-five years. As his wife, only she saw the truth behind the public face of the famous author - that he was a haunted man whose bestselling novels were based on a terrifying reality.

Now Scott has gone, Lisey wants to lock herself away with her memories. But the fans have other ideas. And when the sinister threats begin, Lisey realises that, just as Scott depended on her strength - her light - to live, so she will have to draw on his darkness to survive.

i really enjoyed this - quite different from some of his other stories - it was totally beliveable. at first the reader annoyed me but after a short time it seemed the right choice - this story suited her. i can almost believe that there is such a place as 'Boo'ya Moon' the sadness of his brothers life and of his own plus the despair - all conveyed masterly by King. however this is still quite a dark novel as are most of his - so it wont disappoint!

loved it!

once again the master of suspense delivers. A bit slow at the start, but soon kicks in. Stephen King has the uncanny knack of making his stories believable - no matter how far fetched! Listen to this and i guarantee you'll say 'schmucking' at least once within the day!!

Excellent

Lisey's Story was a Stephen King book which I had read when it was first published and I thought it was some distance from his best work. I have revised that opinion considerably. Mare Winningham's narration improves the book immensely. I was engrossed from start to finish. I will certainly look for other Audible products she's involved with.

Mare Winningham is superb.

I am a big Steven Kind fan and love most of his books. Where Lisey's Story isn't one of his better works it still has many good points. As a horror book it has some really quite chilling moments, the story line is good, but sometimes seems a bit too drawn out. It can in places be a little confusing, but this adds to the psychology of the plot.I would recommend this book.

Not one of his best
