i have never felt so purely TERRIFIED TO THE CORE as i did when reading this book. i mean maybe when i read IT a few years ago but other than that this book really got to me. I WAS GENUINLY SO SCARED HOLY SHIT !! Annie Wilkes‘ character was just so expertly crafted alongside the awfully claustrophobic setting and it just made for the most horrific but memorable story. wow! omdef one of my new fav king novels! bahhhhh okay yeah wow!

Some of the language definitely reflects the fact that this was written in 1985 and it felt kinda weird.  I wouldn’t consider this a scary book, but it’s definitely horrifying.
