About this listen
Welcome to Desperation.
Once a thriving copper-mining town in the middle of the Nevada desert, Desperation is now eerily abandoned. It's the last place that travellers like the Carver family, bound for vacation, and writer Johnny Marinville, astride his Harley, would expect to be stopped and charged. But Desperation still has a local cop - a unique regulator who patrols the wilderness highway.
The secrets buried in Desperation are as terrifying as the forces summoned to encounter them. A terrifying transformation is taking place, and the travellers will soon discover the true meaning of desperation....

Several million stars out of 5!
Oh lord, this is a riveting tale. And the author himself is reading it. Enough said.

Stephen King classic
SK's use of a created language makes this read incredibly riveting and suspenseful. A great read!

Enjoyed but wished it was read by another talent
I really enjoyed the story in this book but really wished it was performed by someone other than King. So many hours of his nasal, non expressive tone would have been exhausting were in not for the great story. With all of the highly talented audiobook readers available I have no idea why he would have read it himself

A good story
😂 the first review I saw complained of SK’s monotone performance causing him to want to slit his wrists 🤣
My husband finds his voice annoying lol
I guess I hear them, however, a lifetime of loving the writer as well as enjoying him in many cameos in his movies bestows me with a unconditional love. Like a mother I forgive him of all things, from less than a not so top of the line tome, to his sometimes surprising and silly political comments (I don’t care which side you are on, ALL those politicians are criminal psychopaths.
So go on you brilliant storyteller! I love to listen to your stories read by you 💜

a great story which would benefit from a re-record
I think I've been spoilt by Frank Muller, George Guidall and Steve Weber. I love your writing Mr King, but please for the love of all that is, stop trying to do Texas accents and leave it to the professionals 😀 xoxo
