A review by alisarae
The Outsider by Stephen King
This was one of my favorite Stephen King novels (my all time fave is 11/22/63). It’s a pretty straightforward police procedural with a supernatural twist—a monster based on Mexican folklore. I liked the characters, too. It’s easy to like a book where the good guys do good and the bad guy is a monster.
Plus, that folksy language that Stephen King always uses is just the best. In the age of international blockbusters and language flattening, we need regional dialect revival in literature.
