It's a bit on the different side for King but I'm enjoying it. Quite the visual book. In the right hands, it would make a really great movie.

1. Duma is the angel of silence in hebrew myth
does that have any import?

2. No. I don't think saying it's a place would spoil anything.

I ask because Duma shows up in Neil Gaiman's "Sandman". He is notable as the recipient of the Key to hell. I know that King is a fan of Gaiman and has read "Sandman" so I thought there might be a connection.

5. If there is, it is well hidden and maybe only
a homage to Gaiman by King. For Duma Key is anything but silent.
