This paperback book is in great condition and weighs 13 oz. It's a masterpiece from King, in the great American tradition of Frank Norris, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe. This rich and disturbing novel spans five decades on its way to the most terrifying conclusion Stephen King has ever written. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil's devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings. In his mid-thirties - addicted to heroin, stranded, desperate - Jamie meets Charles Jacobs again, with profound consequences for both men. Wed to his guitar from the age of thirteen, he plays in bands across the country, living the nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll while fleeing from his family's horrific loss. Stephen King’s Revival is a novel that explores the complex themes of faith, addiction, and the darker side of human nature. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town. With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond based on a secret obsession. Jacobs the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs - including Jamie's mother and beloved sister, Claire. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church.
Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. In a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. The first was his excellent adaptation of Gerald’s Game - a book often deemed “unfilmable” - for Netflix, starring Carla Gugino.A dark and electrifying novel about addiction, fanaticism, and what might exist on the other side of life. If Flanagan does direct as well ( and we hope he does), it will be the third King tale he’s directed since 2017. Years later, long after Jacobs lost his faith following an unspeakable tragedy, the two meet again and Jamie ends up assisting Jacobs in grim experiments that involve using electricity to open a gateway to the afterlife. The plot follows a young boy named Jamie Morton and his friendship with small-town minister Charles Jacobs. Revival has been acclaimed as one of King’s better recent novels, and at 405 pages, one of his more succinct. Flanagan is also going to produce the project along with his regular producing partner, Trevor Macy, through their Intrepid Pictures banner.
Pictures “with an option to direct,” so he’s not confirmed yet to do the latter. Mike Flanagan, the horror auteur behind The Haunting of Hill House and last year’s theatrical version of Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep, is attached to yet another King property: the 2014 novel Revival.ĭeadline reports that Flanagan will write an adaptation of the novel for Warner Bros.
