Stephen King said that this is his darkest novel, in his opinion. And he's right, probably? An upsetting concept and a somewhat obscene execution.
Coming back wrong is an interesting premise, but I just didn't like this version. Partially because there's a toddler involved, partially because I didn't like the story in general. idk. King has some fetishes, and I'm tired of hearing about them maybe?
I don't feel like there's much original I can say about this. Like, I'm not put off King books now, but maybe I'll read reviews first?
