Reviews "Stephen King is an immensely talented storyteller of seemingly inexhaustible gifts. This is a yarn so packed with suspense, romance, literary reference, fascinating miscellaneous knowledge, and heart that only Stephen King could have written it. Ed has been involuntarily recruited on one side, and, it develops, Ralph and his also-widowed neighbor, Lois Chasse, on the other, of a supercosmic struggle the import of which King reveals with deliciously tantalizing gradualness. Or is it Ed? Ralph senses that someone or something else is in control of the troubled man. Ralph intervenes to help Helen Deepneau escape from Ed, for which Ed threatens him. Meanwhile, Ed has turned into an antiabortion fanatic and wife-beater. He also starts seeing things-intense colors streaming off people and animals. About a year later and after his wife's death, Ralph begins waking early and then earlier and earlier. On one of the long, exhausting walks old Ralph Roberts starts taking as a brain tumor slowly kills his wife, he witnesses a friendly young neighbor, Ed Deepneau, behaving totally out of character-indeed, like someone possessed. With this dark fantasy based on the conception of a multilevel ultimate reality, he returns to the massiveness of The Stand and It and The Tommyknockers. From Booklist King's last few novels have been, by his standard, slim and economical. His bizarre visions keep getting more intense, the strange deaths have just begun, and Ralph knows he isn't hallucinating. Each night he stays awake, he witnesses more of the odd activity taking place in his town after dark than he wants to know. About Insomnia Ralph Roberts has an incurable case of insomnia, but lack of sleep is the least of his worries. A well-cared for book, protected from any potential damage. Unique, rare, and distinctive, this book would make a great gift. A wonderful collectible book for your Stephen King library. A deluxe slipcased gift edition, limited to 3,750 copies.
