Reviews"This one's a must for King fans and may also attract YA readers." - Library Journal "...period murder mystery with a heart...King brings his usual finesse to this tale's mystery elements" - Publishers Weekly "...the book...features some of King's most graceful writing...ruminative, amused, digressive, marvelously unaffected, and finally, devastatingly sad." - Entertainment Weekly "An amusement park and murder figure into a coming-of-age tale in this miniature thriller with a hint of the supernatural." - Los Angeles Times "Undeniable...charm [and] aching nostalgia...[JOYLAND] reads like a heartfelt memoir and might be King's gentlest book, a canny channeling of the inner peace one can find within outer tumult." - Booklist "Wrapped in a gloriously pulpy cover, Joyland is a coming-of-age story set in 1973 at a North Carolina amusement park -- creepy! -- that's haunted by a murderer." - Time Magazine "Stephen King's carny-saturated Joyland evokes the ghosts of summers past -- literally." - New York Magazine " Joyland , by Stephen King (Hard Case Crime, June). An old-school, pulpy paperback ghost story set in a North Carolina amusement park." - Departures Magazine "King's latest thriller, a PG-13 pulp paperback crime novel takes place at a remote carny park where college kid Devin is desperate to see the ghost of a girl whose murderer might still be lurking around the hot dog stands." - Cosmopolitan Magazine " Joyland is a joy. A gem whatever its genre." - Tor.com "This is a wonderful return to old school King." - We Love This Book " Joyland is a fantastic story. This is a compelling and yet oddly gentle tale of a young man experiencing the ache of heartbreak and the curve-balls life can throw at you." - Geek Native "From horror authority Stephen King comes some hard-boiled action, with all the elements of a good crime novel--including the early '70s, southern secrets, carnivals, and a meddling college kid." - The Daily Muse "If you're a King fan you may want to set this on your wishlist " - Bookmuch "This Joyland is not innocent, of course. Its retro thrills include an enticingly steamy cover, Hard Case Crime's sensually tactile paperback format, and a cover line that asks, "Who Dares Enter the Funhouse of Fear?"" - New York Times "It's good to have a book like this now - simple, sweet, and not a little scary - to remind us that among the prequels and sequels, the epics and the TV miniseries, Stephen King can still spin one hell of a little yarn." "As usual, King slips in and out of genre effortlessly, but it's gratifying that at the core of Joyland exists a story worthy of being called a Hard Case Crime." "Misdirection and red herrings abound, delightfully, and the weather-ravaged denouement could play out as the conclusion to a Donald Westlake or Lawrence Block novel." - FEARnet "Red meat for any Stephen King fan." - TalkStephenKing.com "This is a Stephen King novel that you can start on your vacation and actually finish before the flight home." - Men's Health , Selected By Amazon, "This one's a must for King fans and may also attract YA readers." Library Journal "...period murder mystery with a heart...King brings his usual finesse to this tale's mystery elements" Publishers Weekly "Undeniable…charm [and] aching nostalgia…[JOYLAND] reads like a heartfelt memoir and might be King's gentlest book, a canny channeling of the inner peace one can find within outer tumult."
