What a book! Devoured it back when it was first published.

The Sandman was disturbing.

Loved it. Wild ride from start to finish. Going into the book I expected it to be about a vampire, given the title, but I didn’t expect the type of vampire I received. Insanely creative work of fiction with fun easter eggs to King’s work in the latter half of the book.

I think one of my favorite parts, was the clever call-out to Chekov’s Gun. Maggie having the paperweight gun was one thing, but when she told 14-year-old Vic about the “escape route” from the library (and Vic rightly saying “why would I ever need to get out of here in a hurry), I never would’ve expected that line to pay-off in the final chapters. The paperweight served as a great reminder that if a gun is shown in act 1, it better go off by the end of the story— and boy did it go off.

Great book.

I really wanted to like this book, I really did.
It started well, idea was good and I enjoyed Joe Hill's other two books I've read.
But alas, I was disappointed.

Some of the characters felt really icky, I mean yes it's a horror book but..
And around when Vic met Lou I started to have doubts that I would not finish this.
Joe Hill was so focused on telling us how fat Lou was and how his dad was fat and it was just Jesus Fuck. I counted that on one page the word "fat" was mentioned like 5 times..
(I don't understand how it's added only as "minor" CW by the users here 😒🤔

Good idea, some good characters but poor writing couldn't save.
I got to 51%, final nail in the coffin was when Manx

killed the poor doggie 🤬😭

God this book took me forever to read but I have to say it was a joy.
If Lou hadn't made it I would have been pissed. I think the end honestly saved the entire book for me, watching it all come together was delightful.
