Stephen King's On A Roll These Days

I usually don't do this but I really liked these three books. I think these are some of Stephen King's best works since The Stand and The Dark Tower series. I highly recommend these to anyone who likes a good story as each stands by its self with solid characters that generate emotion.

Cell:

Cell is an apocalyptic horror novel . The plot concerns a New England artist struggling to reunite with his young son after a mysterious signal broadcast over the global cell-phone network turns the majority of his fellow humans into mindless vicious animals.


Duma Key:

Edgar Freemantle, a successful Minnesota contractor, barely survives an accident on a job site. On his psychiatrist's advice, he decides to start again on a remote island in the Florida Keys His artwork has the power both destroy life and to cure ailments. called Duma Key. He becomes obsessed with creating art, from sketches to painting.
Under The Dome
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an dome like invisible force field.  It cuts anything in it’s way. Cars and planes crash right into the force field No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when it will go away. Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed trying to take control away from a smart yet power hungry town leader and his crazy son.




Under The Dome has been suggest by Stephen Spielberg as something they are working on adapting for the big screen. Of course he's already working on another piece of Stephen King fiction, The Talisman due out 2010.
