Hodder & Stoughton har via en social media-kampanj gjort sitt omslag till Revival offentligt. Trots det går det inte att se omslaget i sin helhet på ett bra sätt ännu, och ovanstående "packshot" är det bästa via har.

Intressant att den där blixten går igen från det amerikanska/svenska. Hur den spelar in i handlingen framgår av följande synopsis:

In a small New England town, in the early 60s, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister, Charles Jacobs. Soon they forge a deep bond, based on their fascination with simple experiments in electricity.

Decades later, Jamie is living a nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll. Now an addict, he sees Jacobs again – a showman on stage, creating dazzling ‘portraits in lightning’ – and their meeting has profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil’s devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings.

REVIVAL is a spectacularly dark and electrifying novel about addiction, religion, music and what might exist on the other side of life. It’s a masterpiece from King, in the great American tradition of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe.
