Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
A mysterious and haunting spirit lurks within the walls of Rose Red, the
setting for Stephen King's upcoming ABC miniseries tie-in by the same name.
Built on a Native American burial ground in early 20th-century Seattle, the
mansion which is constantly under construction sets the scene for a multitude
of inexplicable disappearances and ghastly deaths. While moody oil tycoon
John Rimbauer refuses to acknowledge that the house has a mind of its own,
his young wife, Ellen, dramatizes these eerie events with great detail in
her diary, often personifying the house as if it were a living being.
(Or, perhaps, a non-living being?) While the evolution of Ellen's character
from innocent and submissive to frighteningly powerful is a slow process, the
language and questioning nature of her entries entice the reader as the
mystery of Rose Red is brought into full bloom. Ellen also reveals frustration
and disappointment with her marriage namely her husband's unfaithfulness and
alarmingly frequent involvement in voyeuristic activities as well as a
growing confusion about her sexual identity and attachment to her friend and
African handmaid, Sukeena. In addition to extensive dialogue that makes the
diary seem a tad more like a novel than someone's personal confessions,
Ellen's entries are accompanied by a handful of explanatory notes put in by
the "editor" and supposed professor of paranormal studies, Joyce Reardon.
The people mentioned in the diary, as well as Reardon, are all characters
in Rose Red, which was created directly for television by the bestselling
author. As to who penned the actual text of the diary? That remains as much
of a mystery as Rose Red herself.
