**īackground – “Duma Key” was originally published in January 2008 as a Scribner hardcover. My goal is to read and review each one with as much honesty and reflection that I can give. It’s been a long time since I have really immersed myself in Uncle Stevie’s world, but a rate of a book a month, I am all in. ** The Stephen King Goodreads Discussion Group is doing a re-read of his works from the beginning to the end.
