REVIEW

.
.

I really wanted to give it 5 stars, but I really didn't love the poetry and I'm sure it's someone else's taste, it's just not mine. 
.
The story's however you get lost in, and take days to come out of, you are so fully immersed you find yourself locked in on every word.
.
A stunning novelist, as always King, you are a bright spark for all of horror and novel writing. Worth every single minute.

3.0

Every story, the female characters are described either by their weight or their breasts. I’d say skip this one entirely.
