Had to get some Stephen King in during spooky season and this was the perfect read for it. It’s atmospheric, a little slow going at the start, but truly picks up and draws you in to the action and horror Ben Mears and the rest of the crew face. 

I love a good story about things that go bump in the night. I also really appreciated the classic horror tropes and mythos about the villians (trying to avoid spoilers for anyone who doesn’t know much about the book). I liked feeling like I had enough common knowledge about “them” that I could have stood a chance alongside the protagonists. 

Not my favorite King story, but definitely a classic. Would certainly recommend it to any horror-loving folks.
