ā€œThe terror is relentlessā€ (Publishers Weekly) in Stephen Kingā€™s #1 national bestseller about a little mining town, Desperation, that many will enter on their way to somewhere else. But getting out is not easy as it would seemā€¦

Located off a desolate stretch of Interstate 50, Desperation, Nevada, has few connections with the rest of the world. It is a place, though, where the seams between worlds are thin. And it is a place where several travelers are abducted by Collie Entragian, the maniacal police officer of Desperation. Entragian uses various ploys for the abductions, from an arrest for drug possession to ā€œrescuingā€ a family from a nonexistent gunman. Thereā€™s something very wrong here, all right, and Entragian is only the surface of it.

The secrets embedded in Desperationā€™s landscape, and the evil that infects the town like some viral hot zone, are both awesome and terrifying. But as one of the travelers, young David Carver, seems to knowā€”though it scares him nearly to death to realize itā€”so are the forces summoned to combat them. ā€œStephen Kingā€™s knack for turning the stray junk of pop culture into sick, darkly engrossing thrills has rarely been this much in evidence as in Desperationā€ (Salon).
