What this book is about
Edgar Freemantle, nearly killed in a construction accident, retreats to Duma Key—a remote Florida island—to recover. There he discovers an extraordinary gift for painting, and the paintings begin to show things that haven't happened yet. Stephen King's supernatural novel is both a horror story and a meditation on creativity and recovery.
