Lisey Debusher Landon lost her husband Scott two years ago, after a
twenty five year marriage of the most profound and sometimes
frightening intimacy. Lisey knew there was a place Scott went--a place
that both terrified and healed him, could eat him alive or give him the
ideas he needed in order to live. Now it's Lisey's turn to face Scott's
demons, Lisey's turn to go to Boo'ya Moon. What begins as a widow's
effort to sort through the papers of her celebrated husband becomes a
nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited.
Perhaps King's most personal and powerful novel ever, Lisey's Story is
about the wellspings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the
secret language of love. (Coming October 2006)

Forever Odd: We're all a little odd beneath the surface. He's the most
unlikely hero you'll ever meet-an ordinary guy with a modest job you
might never look at twice. But there's so much more to any of us than
meets the eye-and that goes triple for Odd Thomas. For Odd lives
always between two worlds in the small desert town of Pico Mundo,
where the heroic and the harrowing are everyday events. Odd never
asked to communicate with the dead-it's something that just happened.
But as the unofficial goodwill ambassador between our world and
theirs, he's got a duty to do the right thing. That's the way Odd sees it
and that's why he's won hearts on both sides of the divide between life
and death.
A childhood friend of Odd's has disappeared. The worst is feared. But
as Odd applies his unique talents to the task of finding the missing
person, he discovers something worse than a dead body, encounters
an enemy of exceptional cunning, and spirals into a vortex of terror.
Once again Odd will stand against our worst fears. Around him will
gather new allies and old, some living and some not. For in the battle
to come, there can be no innocent bystanders, and every sacrifice can
tip the balance between despair and hope. Whether you're meeting
Odd Thomas for the first time or he's already an old friend, you'll be
led on an unforgettable journey through a world of terror, wonder and
delight-to a revelation that can change your life. And you can have no
better guide than Odd Thomas. (Coming October 2006).
