Bag of Bones

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Stephen King

A powerful tale of grief, love’s enduring bonds, and secrets of the past set in the Castle Rock universe from #1 New York Times bestselling author and master storyteller Stephen King.

Four years after the sudden death of his wife, bestselling novelist Mike Noonan is still grieving. Unable to write and plagued by vivid nightmares set at the western Maine summerhouse he calls “Sara Laughs,” Mike reluctantly returns to the lakeside getaway.

There, he finds his beloved Yankee town held in the grip of a powerful millionaire, Max Devore, whose vindictive purpose is to take his three-year-old granddaughter, Kyra, away from her widowed young mother, Mattie. As Mike is drawn into Mattie’s and Kyra’s struggle—and as he falls in love with both of them—he is also drawn into the mystery of Sara Laughs…now the site of ghostly visitations and escalating terrors.

What are the forces that have been unleashed here—and just what do they want of Mike Noonan?©1998 Stephen King, All Rights Reserved; (P)1998 Simon & Schuster, Inc., All Rights Reserved

One of his best

I have been a fan of Stephen King's books for quite a while and have to say that Bag of Bones is one of his best! Somehow, I missed reading it when it first came out, but am so glad to have purchased the audio version recently. I love to hear Stephen reading Stephen. He makes me feel as if I'm sitting right in front of him, in his living room, listening to him spin his yarns just for me. I feel every flinch, hear every sound, as if I'm right there in the story with him. Very Good book and a necessity for any Stephen King fan.

holds your attention to the end

I found this book kept me hooked till the end. A very clever story which though complex held together well.

THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a wonderful story! I found a new side to this multi-faceted author--romance! And who could possibly have read this better, with all the right inflections, pauses, and emphasis, than Stephen King himself.
This masterpiece would make a fabulous unabridged screen-play if Mr. King himself converts it from book to movie.
I am forever amazed at Mr. King's ability to cast the reader into the psyche of each character, and to stimulate the mind's eye to see every detail of the story.

King Speaks

No one writes as well as King in his genre. His early works still shine above all the others. This stands out as a critique of the business. Of course it is a well written story. However, I just cannot stand King as the narrator. If I would have caught that, I would have stuck to the book format. Very few authors can pull it off and I never though King could.

Stephen King, keep writing

Love the story but Stephen King as a narrator was awful! It literally was just him reading out loud. Please leave the narration to professionals. It made the story somewhat boring because there was no feeling or emotion in the reading.
