Stephen King’s ‘new Joyland’ mixes

Stephen King’s ‘new Joyland’ mixes chills with amusement park thrills

Set in a small town North Carolina amusement park in 1973, Joyland tells the story of the summer in which college student Devin Jones comes to work as a carrier and confronts the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, which will change his life forever.

Joyland has a patina of the supernatural: There is the ghost as well as Devin’s friendship with a 10-year-old disabled boy named Mike, who is gifted with an authentic psychic ability” that is “like touching another world.” Still, for all that this helps drive the narrative, it ultimately brings us back to Devin, to the novel’s human heart.

The newest novel from the prolific Stephen King, Joyland is not what I was expecting. We often talk about the reader’s expectation here in the book Smugglers, usiaIly in the context of the hype preceding a book, or the marketing campaign around said book. In the case of Joyland, from the vague synopsis and pulpy cover, I confess that I was expecting something gloriously ostentatious, something excessive. A horror story about a haunted carnival ground in which Evil itself has manifested in the murder of unsuspecting pretty young things, perhaps. Imagine my delight then, wheni discovered this most certainly was not the case.

But ultimately, Joyland isn’t about ghosts of murders or unmasking a killer. A heart, it’s a book about maturing and moving on. it’s a bittersweet tale of love and heartbreak, sadness and healing. Aren’t those the best kind of stories? One of the best Stephen King. novels i’ve read in years, I thoroughly enjoyed Joyland and it’s in the running for one of my notablé books for 2013. Ifs absolutely recommended. Joyland will be coming out in paperback and folks who want to read it will have to buy the actual book.
