Plot For Drunken Fireworks

Plot for Drunken Fireworks:

Alden McCausland and his mother are what they call “accident rich”; thanks to an unexpected life insurance policy payout and a winning Big Maine Millions scratcher, Alden and his Ma are able to spend their summers down by Lake Abenaki, idly drinking their days away in a three-room cabin with an old dock and a lick of a beach.

Across the lake, they can see what “real rich” looks like: the Massimo family’s Twelve Pines Camp, the big white mansion with guest house and tennis court that Alden’s Ma says is paid for by “ill-gotten gains” courtesy of Massimo Construction. When Alden’s holiday-weekend sparklers and firecrackers set off what over the next few years comes to be known as the 4th of July Arms Race, he learns how far he and the Massimos will go to win an annual neighborly rivalry – one that lands Alden in the Castle County jail.

Coming June 2015

From International No.1 bestselling author Stephen King, comes a brand-new, never-before-published audio only story on 30 June. Drunken Fireworks will be available from Hodder & Stoughton in both CD and digital download form.

In this new tour-de-force from Stephen King – unavailable in print or any other format – a salt-of-the-earth Maine native recounts how a friendly annual summer fireworks-show rivalry with his neighbour across the lake gradually spirals out of control…with explosive results.

Read by Tim Sample, and perfectly timed to coincide with 4 July Fireworks in the States, Drunken Fireworks will initially be released exclusively in audio before it is available as part of King's exciting new collection The Bazaar of Bad Dreams, coming on 3 November. Find out more here.
