Features: Stephen King is a renowned horror novelist in Europe and America. His every novel hits the bestseller list upon release and is constantly adapted into films. With suspense, clues, dreams, memories, illusions, and the supernatural, he weaves a world where humans and ghosts coexist. From the moment readers open the book, they embark on a chilling and terrifying journey alongside the protagonist. Mike is a sensitive middle-aged writer who has fallen into a state of spiritual exhaustion after his creative peak. To make matters worse, his beloved wife, Jo, dies in a car accident, and the grieving Mike learns from the coroner that Jo had been hiding the fact that she was pregnant. This fills him with suspicion, especially when he discovers that Jo had secretly visited their seaside villa, Saratoga, many times. Determined to investigate his wife's strange behavior before her death, he decides to go to the villa. However, the realtor, Bill, an elderly man who had always been kind to him, suddenly shows him undisguised hostility and repeatedly bluntly suggests that he leave quickly. The locals also clearly express their disapproval, and once, he even narrowly escapes life-threatening harm. Mike keenly realizes that there is a well-guarded secret hidden in the local history. Finally, he finds a clue in Jo's notebook.
