Rose Madder
420 Pages
Rose Madder is a brutal, surreal tale of escape, survival, and the power of transformation. It begins with Rosie Daniels, a woman who finally walks away from a marriage soaked in fear and violence. But her past isn’t finished with her, and her husband, a sadistic cop, is already hunting her down.
As Rosie starts over under a new name, she finds a strange painting in a secondhand shop. The woman in the painting seems to be calling her, and what lies beyond that frame might offer more than escape. It might offer power.
Blending real-world trauma with mythic undertones, Rose Madder is part thriller, part fable, and wholly King: fierce, strange, and unforgiving.
