I always enjoy Stephen King, and this was no exception. Surprisingly I actually found myself wishing it went on longer, there was more suspenseful lead up than supernatural horror, which is good too. I think King developed the themes of this one really well. I wish there would’ve been more lore though! Overall I enjoyed, but some of the passages about kids and pets were difficult to read, but they added to the suspense.
Graphic: Animal death and Child death
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts

My very first read of Stephen King. If you want my advice I suggest that you don't read the introduction of this book because it will slightly spoil a big plot point to you indirectly.
To be honest, it was very interesting, but I expected it to be more scary?
Overall good book and I'm looking forward to read more of King.

Someone who's already into reading or starting with low expectations might like this book, I don't hate it but it was too boring for me.
