Synopsis

The iconic, "extraordinary" (The Washington Post) collaboration between #1 bestselling author Stephen King and Peter Straub--an epic thriller about a young boy's quest to save his mother's life.

Why had twelve-year-old Jack Sawyer's mother frantically moved the two of them from Rodeo Drive to a New York City apartment to the Alhambra, a fading ocean resort and shuttered amusement park in New Hampshire? Who or what is she running from? She is dying . . . and even young Jack knows she can't outrun death. But only he can save her--for he has been chosen to search for a prize across an epic landscape of dangers and lies, a realm of innocents and monsters, where everything Jack loves is on the line.
