So, I hear you asking, why isn't this 5 stars? For one, I really don't like the use of the word rape in this novel. I know at the time it was written this word was okay to use, but apart from one scene, it really didn't need to be used. As the saying goes, if you can use anything other than rape, don't use rape.

I particularly loved the ending and how King showed the psychological damage and paranoia which Annie instilled in Paul over their time together. Some of the parts made me squeal out loud! Amazingly vivid body horror and horrific psychological torture so well written it feels real.
One that’ll stay with me.
