There is a lot of outdated language and ideas with regards to Native American cultures, disability, and chronic and terminal illness - mostly in-character for the time and culture of the story, but still jarring.
Particularly strong book for King's weird horny comparisons that seem completely inappropriate, e.g.
Graphic: Child death, Gore, Grief, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , Blood, Chronic illness, Cultural appropriation, Medical content, Terminal illness, Animal death, Body horror, Death, Vomit, Fire/Fire injury, Injury/Injury detail, Medical trauma, and Mental illness

The story is paced perfectly and I have been reading it nonstop. The author’s use of language to create suspense and terror is reminiscent of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
This was my first King novel and I think it was the perfect one to start on! Very tense and lots of fun easter eggs in there :)
