The Metamorphosis and Other Stories
Franz Kafka, Jason Baker, Donna Freed

Joyland, by Stephen King

 

This little mixture of mystery/supernatural/coming-of-age tale is irresistible. It harkens back to the efficiency of 70s-era, pure storytelling-prowess King, but is infused with the wisdom of someone who's almost forty years past those early, glory days. Even the ending is great! Holding this book ( a physical paperback book), with its retro-noir cover and promise of carnival-themed fun whet my appetite and the story delivered in every aspect. It gave me a nostalgia-drenched thrill and has me jonzing for the recently published Dr. Sleep.
