Joyland

Devin Jones, a college student, accepted a summer job at Joyland with the intention of moving on from the girl who shattered his heart. However, what he ultimately encountered was much worse: the aftermath of a brutal murder, the destiny of a kid on the verge of death, and grim realities about life and what comes after that would permanently alter his perspective.

A gripping tale about growing up, getting old, and falling in love—as well as about people who are robbed of these experiences when they pass away too soon. This multifaceted work combines elements of mystery, terror, and bittersweet coming-of-age, leaving even the most intransigent reader deeply affected.
