Joyland is March's Book of the Month
The featured novel for March is Joyland by Stephen King. Copies of the novel are available at the Upper Level Circulation Desk.
About the Book
Set in a small-town North
Carolina amusement park in 1973, Joyland tells the story of the summer
in which college student Devin Jones comes to work as a carny and
confronts the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and
the ways both will change his life forever.
"I
love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts. That combo made Hard
Case Crime the perfect venue for this book, which is one of my
favorites. I also loved the paperbacks I grew up with as a kid, and for
that reason, we’re going to hold off on e-publishing this one for the
time being. Joyland will be coming out in paperback, and folks who want
to read it will have to buy the actual book." – Stephen King
