Review: Joyland

I read this in one hit on a rainy Saturday afternoon - perfect. I haven’t enjoyed King’s more recent novels - they seemed to be full of too many ‘clever’ references to current culture and icons. But Joyland was a joyous (pun intended)return to his previous form, with a very large nod to Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked this way comes.
In turns creepy, nostalgic, romantic, mysterious with a lead character you really like and hope will find his way in the world.
Highly recommended.
