Edition DescriptionIllustrated edition

SynopsisSet 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 in a fairground and confronts the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and the ways both will change his life forever. An all-new illustrated edition featuring artwork by Robert McGinnis, Glen Orbik, Mark Summers and Pat Kinsella Stephen King has written dozens of bestselling books including The Shining, The Stand, and The Green Mile. Film adaptations of his work include "Misery" and "Stand By Me". In 2003, King received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, and in 2007 he was named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America. "I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts. That combo made Hard Case Crime the perfect venue for this book, which is one of my favorites. I also loved the paperbacks I grew up with as a kid, and for that reason, we're going to hold off on e-publishing this one for the time being. Joyland will be coming out in paperback, and folks who want to read it will have to buy the actual book." - Stephen King, Stephen King's #1 Bestseller As You've Never Seen It Before Featuring more than 20 illustrations by acclaimed artists Pat Kinsella, Robert McGinnis, and Mark Summers, this brand new edition of JOYLAND brings the carny world to life in all its bright and sinister glory. College student Devin Jones took the summer job at Joyland hoping to forget the girl who broke his heart. But he wound up facing something far more terrible: the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and dark truths about life--and what comes after--that would change his world forever. A riveting story about love and loss, about growing up and growing old--and about those who don't get to do either because death comes for them before their time-- JOYLAND is Stephen King at the peak of his storytelling powers. With all the emo- tional impact of King masterpieces such as The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption, JOYLAND is at once a mystery, a horror story, and a bittersweet coming-of-age novel, one that will leave even the most hard-boiled of readers pro- foundly moved.

King at his best.
A true coming of age story, where a man recounts his 21st year. There is love, crime, heartbreak, haunting, and more in Joyland. What are you thinking about? Buy the book!

Illustrations are Great
Stephen King's compelling story telling keep you hooked the whole way through. The illustrations are numerous and well placed within the text - and add to the experience. The narrator of the story, Devon Jones, reflects on a summer from his youth when he worked at an amusement park, Joyland. Yes, there is a ghost, but the story is really about Devon coming of age in the early 70s on the east coast and an unsolved murder.

Not the typical Steven King fare but it is a behind the scenes look at the life of carnival workers with a favor only King could give
