Not my favourite work by Stephen King, but I enjoyed the storyline and the fact the killer isn’t a person or something understandable, it could be as simple as the fog

Loved it, in sense of murder mistery. Haven't read/listened to any mystery/murder/crime book as this, and the ending was surprising.
Thense from the beginning to the end.
The end was surprising. At the start I didn't anticipate the ending,

the narrator as a killer what a plot twist

I liked this one. It has a great atmospheric feel with the fog and the winter, and the spring that's not really spring. (Never heard of Strawberry Spring before) And of course, the murders.

I didn't expect the ending at all, and was quite surprised to find that the narrator was the killer, but then it made perfect sense really.

Very atmospheric and artistic in terms of style, I found it rather haunting in terms of the type of horror. It's almost like the narrator lost himself in the weather and became someone else entirely. Very eerie.
