Really good! I wasn’t expecting this to be as literary as it was - it had all the hallmarks of a typical pulpy horror (which I wouldn’t mind) but it was more a story of human life than anything. While it was my first introduction to King’s work, I understand that it is a bit of an outlier in its humanness. It makes the book even sweeter that it’s a one-off. Very good.
