As I reported earlier this year, the new Stephen King novella entitled Morality is featured in the July 2009 issue of Esquire magazine. The magazine should be on newsstands this week and features the Israeli model, Bar Refaeli on the cover with a temporary tattoo of the story covering her body.
Here is a brief synopsis of the story: Chad, an aspiring writer who is teaching school until he lands a publishing contract, and his wife, Nora, who is working as a home nurse for a retired minister, are like most people these days struggling financially. Nora is approached by her employer with a proposition that could make their dream of a home in Vermont a reality. But will it be worth the moral consequences?
I’ve been a King fan for 30 years. This story? Pa-tooey.
I have been a stephen king fan for a long time and I can’t wait until this come out. I will be waiting by the magazine racks waiting for this to come out.
I hope that you never retire Mr. King, I love to be frightened at night with one of you books!!!!!!
I love Stephen King and have been a Constant Reader for twenty-something years, but this story was really boring and not entertaining. Borrow it from the library. I wouldn’t waste your money.
finally got around to reading the story. quite possibly King’s worst effort of all time. Delighted to see fiction returning to Esquire, but hope they can manage to do better in the future.
Just read it! Loved it!
