Revival - Stephen King

A spectacularly dark and electrifying novel about addiction,
religion, music and what might exist on the other side of life. 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. This rich and
disturbing novel spans five decades on its way to the most
terrifying conclusion Stephen King has ever written. It's a
masterpiece from King, in the great American tradition of Nathaniel
Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe.
