Overview
Overview
Set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine From #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King, a powerful tale of grief, of love's enduring bonds, and the haunting secrets of the past. Set in the Maine territory King has made mythic, Bag of Bones recounts the plight of forty-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan, who is unable to stop grieving following the sudden death of his wife Jo, and who can no longer bear to face the blank screen of his computer. Now his nights are plagued by vivid nightmares, all set at the Maine summerhouse he calls Sara Laughs. Despite these dreams, or perhaps because of them, Mike returns to the lakeside getaway. There he finds his beloved Yankee town held in the grip of a powerful millionaire, Max Devore, who will do anything to take his three-year-old granddaughter away from her widowed young mother. As Mike is drawn into their struggle, as he falls in love with both mother and child, he is also drawn into the mystery of Sara Laughs, now the site of ghostly visitations, ever-escalating nightmares, and the sudden recovery of his writing ability. What are the forces that have been unleashed here--and what do they want of Mike Noonan? First published in 1998, Bag of Bones was an instant #1 New York Times bestseller. It was lauded at its publication as "hands down, Stephen King's most narratively subversive fiction" (Entertainment Weekly) and his "most ambitious novel" (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution).

Wonderful read
CHERYLE D. - 6 years 5 months agoI really enjoyed this book. It was filled with love and suspense. It showed how people could really be indifferent to each other then come together

A fantastic read!
Bailey J. - 6 years 6 months agoI loved this book! I'm a big Stephen King fan and this book certainly didn't disappoint. The main character of Mike Noonan is relatable and the other supporting characters have such big personalities and really boost the story. In typical King fashion, the plot has many side notes and discoveries, and the climax is the scariest part. I found myself feeling very sad during the ending of this book too, which is a sign of a thrill ride worthy of attention.

You’ll go dark score crazy over it
Joshua D. - 6 years 6 months agoGreat story of love and loss with a ghost story thrown in! If we’re were cursed by Sara Tidwell you were doomed to go dark score crazy and murder your daughters... mike and his dead wife are on a path to end Sara’s curse and begin life anew the question was would the curse get him before he ended it? Great story telling by the master of horror! If you have not read this book, I highly recommend it you’ll never want to put it down!
