Insomnia
by Stephen King
Ralph Roberts has a problem: he isn't sleeping so well these days. In
fact, he's hardly sleeping at all. Each morning, the news conveyed by
the bedside clock is a little worse: 3:15...3:02...2:45...2:15. The
books call it "premature waking"; Ralph, who is still learning to be a
widower, calls it a season in hell. He's begun to notice a strangeness
in his familiar surroundings, to experience visual phenomena that he
can't quite believe are hallucinations. Soon, Ralph thinks, he won't be
sleeping at all, and what then?
A problem, yes - though perhaps not so uncommon, you might say. But
Ralph has lived his entire life in Derry, Maine, and Derry isn't like
other places, as millions of Stephen King readers will gladly testify.
They remember It, also set in Derry, and know there's a mean streak
running through this small New England city; underneath its ordinary
surface awesome and terrifying forces are at work. The dying, natural
and otherwise, has been going on in Derry for a long, long time. Now
Ralph is part of it. So are his friends. And so are the strangers they
encuonter.
Hardbound in very good condition.
