Desperation
  Desperation

Inspiration:

Stephen first came up with the idea for Desperation in 1991, when he was driving his daughter's car cross-country. He passed through Ruth, Nevada, a small town with seemingly no inhabitants. He immediately thought, "They're all dead," and then "Who killed them?" At that point, his "Voice" immediately answered "The sheriff killed them all." In 1994, he decided to pursue this idea further while driving across country on his motorcycle during the Insomnia book tour.

My son Jeremy Kye Gibson was murdered July 6, 2011 and he had given a friend a note about this book. He quoted the prayer as his favorite prayer so I want to thank you for that. It seamed to have meant a lot to him.

To be quite honest, this is the most amazing book I have ever read, and I have read a lot of books. To make me stop reading someone would have to tear it out of my hands!!

I've had to put this book down twice, now! It is one of the most scarey books I have read in a long time. Beware...don't read this alone late at night!
