A King take on the fears that women have of men, of the men that generate those fears, and how they all react when mysteriously separated. King (and his son) still knows how to tell a good tale.

I was, admittedly, rather curious about the fate of non-binary/genderqueer individuals in this tale, but that was never addressed. On the one hand, it could have complicated an already King-length novel; on the other, it could have been an interesting complication (if handled well).
