Revival Audio Book Summary:
Set in a quiet New England town, Revival tells the story of Jamie Morton, a heroin addict living cross country as he travels with his band from one town to the next never knowing where he may end up. This was not how Jamie envisioned his life as a child though. Back then, things were simpler and brighter for Jamie and his family. That is until the arrival of the charismatic Reverend Charles Jacobs and his beautiful wife. Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs were beloved by everyone in town but it was Jamie that shared a deeper bond with the Reverend. When tragedy befalls the Jacobs family Reverend Charles Jacobs turned away from God and was then exiled from the town.
Now in his mid-30s, Jamie is desperate as his life is spiraling out of control. In his darkest moments his path once again crossed with Charles Jacobs that will cause a ripple of consequences for both.
One reason to listen:
This is one of Stephen King’s most jarring tales. Revival is also reminiscent of tales from literary icons such as Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Reactions:
“The Stephen King horror book is back! After a bit of a hiatus from his tried-and-true genre, King does not disappoint with this dark and terrifying read. With many of the characteristic Stephen King themes of the twisting of youth, faith, and hope, the story winds deeper and deeper down into madness and flat-out terror. This will certainly be a classic King horror story, and one that his fans will love.” – Outwest
“In Revival, horror master Stephen King crafted a tale of two men brought together by faith, separated by tragedy and reunited by their obstinate passion for the extraordinary. It is an unsettling story of a man driven by an unquenchable passion and a scientific curiosity that borders on madness. It is a spellbinding supernatural thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat with the frightening portrayal of its main characters and the suspenseful plot which will leave even long-time fans gasping for breath. Revival by Stephen King is designed to rock you to your bones.” – TheGreatReads
“This is King at his best. Revival could possibly fall in his list of classics.” – Ingrd
“I always found most of Stephen King’s story to fall back on his tried and tested cliché list and Revival certainly has those. While it is littered with most of his staple character archetypes (the overly religious zealot, for example), Revival is without a doubt one of his most chilling tale.” – NeonMonster
“A bit clichéd but a solid horror tale nonetheless.” – Veruca
