It’s also about ghosts and lucid dreams and a truly disturbing custody battle.
I won’t give any spoilers here — part of the pleasure of reading this book, of course, is all the twists and turns it takes as it unfolds. But I think you will enjoy the exploration of grief and what it means to be haunted — not only by literal ghosts, but by memories and hidden histories and resounding echoes of lost talents.
Get the full review in Episode 015 of the Write Now podcast! I hope you enjoy it.

The plot is so good, the story should be amazing, but SK has the tendency to drone on and on about nothing and it really takes away from the story and my attention started to drift a bit.
If you like Stephen King, this is gonna be a 5 star for you.
Long chapters, long-winded thought processes on the main character’s part (that shouldn’t make sense with the fast paced environment that he is usually in) & so detailed it might physically hurt a bit.
Plenty of TRIGGER WARNINGS to go around:

- Paranormal activity
- child violence (drownings)
- semi vivid rape
- kidnapping
- gore & gun violence
- suicidal ideation
- racism from the true antagonists
