important book that i just couldn't bring myself to finish. i don't mind a slow-paced book but... this is too slow and drawn out. i don't care enough about our main character to read paragraphs of conversation that have little meaning to me.

This book isn't listed as a young adult or middle grade read, but it's written so juvenile. King dedicated this book to his daughter in the beginning, so I guess I should've expected it? But I wanted a well-rounded, adult fantasy book with the same amount of detail he usually puts into his horror collections but this wasn't that at all. It's narrated as if someone is telling you a bedtime fairy-tale. I think if I had known this novel was like this ahead of time I would've engaged better with it, however this isn't what I wanted to read so I will move onto TLOTR series. Yippie!

womp womp... boring. mediocre. adolescent.

how disappointing... i'm sure there's at least one good story within this collection, but from what i've read none of these authors can actually write. at least not horror. these stories are boring, lack depth, and aren't satisfactory in the "horror" genre. too many "what is the point of me reading this?". unfortunate.

i was hit with 15 slurs before the actual plot of the book happened and i can't even tell you what's really going on despite that

poorly written and choppy

i didn't realize who the author was until i looked into this a little more. i remember some serious controversy with her on twitter not too long ago. also looking into this i'm seeing that a lot of accounts here are fabricated or simply a lie? so. not great i guess. i would like to look more into this and come back to it as i think a book like this is important and worth the read

this was too much for me. both content wise and narratively. i don't really like this writing style and can't find myself to gaf about the plot

wasn't poorly written or anything. i'm not in the mood for this; painfully young adult, even with the college setting. i can't be bothered to care about anything going on in this plot. i felt like i've read this book before

boring
