Not in my dream, of course not, she tells herself, and this seems reasonable. Up ahead is room 319, which is where Scott went to recuperate after they took the bullet out of him.

Goodreads
Lisey Debusher Landon lost her husband, Scott, two years ago, after a twenty-five-year marriage of the most profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey had to learn from him about books and blood and bools. Later, she understood that there was a place Scott went--a place that both terrified and healed him, that could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it's Lisey's turn to face Scott's demons, Lisey's turn to go to Boo'ya Moon. What begins as a widow's efforts to sort through the papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited. Perhaps King's most personal and powerful novel, Lisey's Story is about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love.
Added this to my GR list! Happy weekend!
Interesting first line. I hope you enjoy it. Have a great weekend!
I haven’t read this book, I hope you enjoy it.
Gotta love Stephen King, he is such a strong writer. I have read very few of his books, however, since I usually don’t enjoy reading horror tails. Is it terribly frightening? My novel this week is DEACON KING KONG The book is as good as the title!
Sounds interesting. I have only ever read one Stephen King book, which I enjoyed. I need to read some more of his stuff!
Have a great weekend!

Not a King fan (not interested in horror), but these snippets are interesting.
