Now an Apple TV+ limited series. The “haunting…tender, intimate book that makes an epic interior journey” (The New York Times), Lisey’s Story is a literary masterpiece—an extraordinarily moving and haunting portrait of a marriage and its aftermath.Lisey lost her husband Scott two years ago, after a twenty-five year marriage of profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, 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, to go to that terrifying place known as 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. “Intricate...Exhilirating” (The New Yorker), perhaps Stephen King’s most personal and powerful novel ever, Lisey’s Story is about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love. It is a beautiful, “rich portrait of a marriage, and the complicated affection that outlives death” (The Washington Post).

"Lisey's deceased husband was the great author Scott Landon. Scott has been dead for just over two years and Lisey is finally trying to work her way through his things so she can clear out his office space and donate the rest of his papers to which every college wants it for their collection.
Scott's papers are coveted and have led more than one overzealous Professor to her door looking to get their hands on some unfinished, never before published piece of work.
Lisey's story walks us through Lisey's grief and memories of her relationship with her husband. We learn about Scott's past and how he comes up with his ideas for his novels.
Scott's History was a complex and dark one and leaves you hanging, waiting to find out the rest as Lisey walks us through everything bit by bit, reluctant to revisit these dark and haunting memories."
"Couldn’t put it down!"
