The Auctioneer
Joan Samson
Cover image: John Bonath
Harrowing tensions explode in a series of events that could happen anywhere, to anyone, just as they do to John Moore -- whose days of freedom run out, who is stripped of his possessions, his courage, and his hopes, by the ominous presence of a stranger impossible to resist.
Published to wide acclaim in 1975, The Auctioneer is a small classic of American literature, now almost completely forgotten. The story of John Moore, his wife Mim, and his mother, is a gripping tale of greed in a small town, which is quietly overrun by auctioneer Bob Gore. Acclaimed by writers including Stephen King and Robert R. McCammon, and an influence on King¹s Needful Things, The Auctioneer is here reprinted for the first time in 30 years.
