This is not something that you'd expect from a Stephen King's book. It doesn't involve supernatural stuff or weird mind connections. Yet i found it much scarier.
Because every story is plausible, every story could be happening right now as i read about it and I hold my breath rooting for the main characters. It made me question everything, and ask if I really know the people I have around. 
Perphaps is not the best book I have ever read, but it definitely changed something inside of me. Deeply recommend
