About this listen

Creating George Stark was easy. Getting rid of him won't be....

The sparrows are flying again. The idea - unbidden, inexplicable - haunts the edge of Thad Beaumont's mind. Thad should be happy. For years now it is his secret persona, George Stark, author of superviolent pulp thrillers, who has paid the family bills. But now Thad is writing seriously again under his own name, and his menacing pseudonym has been buried forever. And yet...the sparrows are flying again, and something is terribly wrong in Thad Beaumont's world.

I loved this book. I was surprised I'd not read it before. Really draws you in, small cast of characters keeps the focus on the story.

slow to start then a gripping pageturner

True to style, a bit gruesome in places but the heroes carry the same traits as always, as do the villains! Where this man gets his ideas from, goodness only knows and not sure I want to know. Kept me engaged the whole way through, in no small part due to Grover Gardner's excellent narration. He is one of the best audio book narrators I've come across. Mr King does it again

If you enjoy Stephen King then this is in my opinion one of his best. The narration from Grover Gardner is beyond excellent , this narration adds to the story, Kings ability to use words to build a picture is truly enhanced by the narration .

Probably one of Kings best!
