Under the Dome

“Propulsively intriguing… Staggeringly addictive… King grips us in a chokehold of un-put-downable fascination for more than 1,000 pages.” –USA Today

“Tight and energetic from start to finish. Nowhere in Mr. King’s immense body of work have his real and fantasy world collided with such head-on force.” –New York Times

“King’s ability to create a gripping world is so great, his pacing so effortlessly swift, that it can feel as if you’re caught in a cat’s claws, at once fearful of and delighted by the horrors the next page might bring…. King knows that the biggest danger comes not from the outsider–but from the mob growing within. We are all under the dome.” –Esquire

“An author whose continued and slightly frenzied commerce with his muse has been one of the more enthralling spectacles in American literature…. Writing flat-out keeps King close to his story, close to his source. It seems to magnetize his imagination.” –New York Times Book Review (cover review)
