King continues to scare up those goosebumps and take you by surprise." An engrossing long-past-midnight page-turner. "You'll take a shining to Stephen King's DREAMCATCHER. The action grips the readers' attention to the full." "King's characters are as wonderfully woven as ever. DREAMCATCHER pounds home the truth of our mortality." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "An eclectic tale. perfectly fleshes out characters and their middle-age fatigue and confusion, making them real even as he subtly insinuates the supernatural." "King keeps the story moving on a kinetic level. "There's a raw and authentic psychological underpinning to King's best novels. He's at the top of his really big-game game." This novel is King at his storytelling best. But Stephen King owns the things that go bump in the night. Arguably, John le Carre does the best and truest spies Anne Rice, the most spectacular vampires.
His plotting is as expert and enjoyable as ever." "A breathless race leading up to a denouement designed to induce nail-biting. reaches into the reader's gut, grabs those deep-down hide-under-the-pillow fears and yanks them out into the open." but most of all, it tells a compelling story. "DREAMCATCHER has a little something for everyone: aliens, scary dreams, boyhood friends. DREAMCATCHER displays his talents and drive." infuses a standard 'aliens are among us' story line with his own brew of terror." The Times Picayune (New Orleans) "A book that evokes King at his harrowing best. Don't start this one on a school night, kids. King writes more fluently than ever, and at times with simple, unexpected grace." a busy, vigorously told, increasingly trippy story. In this craftily phantasmagoric story about dreams, telepathy, and extraterrestrials, the emphasis is less on fear than on the shared will and capacity to survive. Not since The Stand has King crafted a story of such astonishing range - and never before has he contended so frankly with the heart of darkness."Big, dynamic. Stephen King's first full-length novel since Bag of Bones is, more than anything, a story of how men remember, and how they find their courage. Their only chance of survival is locked in their shared past - and in the Dreamcatcher. Before long, these men will be plunged into a horrifying struggle with a creature from another world.
His incoherent ravings prove to be disturbingly prescient. This year, a stranger stumbles into their camp, disoriented, mumbling something about lights in the sky. Each hunting season the foursome reunite in the woods of Maine. Twenty-five years later, the boys are now men with separate lives and separate troubles. Something that changed them in ways they could never begin to understand. Certainly a good thing, perhaps even a great thing. Once upon a time, in the haunted city of Derry (site of the classics It and Insomnia), four boys stood together and did a brave thing.
