as with most Stephen King, it could have ended 50 pages earlier and the "creepiness" relies heavily on "gross-out" rather than true terror or horror.

Gruesome and full of psychopathy, an absolute twister and a story that maintains its sense of terror throughout. Annie’s mental unraveling peeling away simultaneously with Paul’s hope of actually living is displayed well. King is truly the king of descriptors…
