The #1 national bestseller about a woman who escapes an abusive marriage is one of Stephen King s most engrossing horror novels. Relentlessly paced and brilliantly orchestrated.fueled by an air of danger immediate and overwhelming (Publishers Weekly).
What woke her up was a single drop of blood, no larger than a dime.
After surviving fourteen years of hell in a violently abusive marriage, Rosie Daniels finally summons the courage to flee for her life. But leaving her husband, Norman, for a new city and a new start is a very daunting prospect. It’s hard for Rosie not to keep looking over her shoulder, and with good reason Norman’s a police officer with the instincts of a predator. He’s very good at finding people, even if he is losing his mind as he pursues his rebellious wife as a force of relentless terror and savagery.a man almost mythic in his monstrosity. And Rosie’s only hope for salvation may lie in a far more dangerous place, where she must become her own myth and the woman she never knew she could be.
Riveting, engrossing.packed with suspense (People), Stephen King infuses this novel with an edge-of-your-seat, chilling atmosphere. Rose Madder is an eerie, remarkably mature and moving novel (The Washington Post).
