Better than The Shining. Better worded and paced. Didn't find it scary. The epilogue was written really well and I kind of want to know what happens. Stephen King's writing has never been as scary as people say it is to me. Do I regret reading it? No, but I won't be reading it again. He also bends some lore to fit his needs. Kind of takes the main supernatural elements name and nothing that is connected to the supernatural element itself. A real shame.
