I've read a lot of King books, and I have to say, this one is by far one of the best ones I've read so far. I'd say it's now in my top five King books. Unbelievably tense, atmospheric and sad. I've noticed a recurring theme in the books I've his that I've loved, all of them are about an author. Annie is one of the most terrifying unhinged characters I have ever read about, but at the same time, it made her incredibly interesting to read about. I was so tense the whole time reading it I couldn't put it down! So good in a morbid kind of way. One of his best written works to date. Do yourself a favour, if you want isolated, uncomfortable, sad, tense, atmospheric psychological horror, pick this book up as soon as possible.
