3.76 AVERAGE


I was pleasantly surprised, I picked this short story up after the mention of it in Stephen King's 11/22/63 which is a favourite book of mine that I am re-reading for the first time. I thought why not give The Summer People a try? I'm glad I did.

There's not a whole lot to it, but I always think horror authors give too much sometimes and it takes away the spookiness which is a shame. The Summer People was just the right amount of eerie and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to know more.. but maybe that's just how it should be.

Lesson Learned: Once Labor Day rolls around, don’t stay in your summer cottage. You’ll regret it.
mysterious tense fast-paced

definitely eerie, but ended wayy too abruptly :/
