I'll open this review with: at least it was better than Later. I could just be a priest, horror brat, but King will forever be a King of horror in my mind. So naturally I go into his books thinking there will be at least one or more spooky, scary, gory, paranormal element. However, Billy Summers has none of that besides a minor cameo from another book. This would make a great action flick (it even has a bit of romance), but by King's standards, it's meh.
