Okay... I was having fun at the beginning. I was on a road trip relatively close to Colorado when I started this one so it was very easy to connect with the imagery. I enjoyed learning about the ideas behind the paranormal-ness. eventually, though, it lost me.

I picked this book hoping to finally read a book that scared me, but I think I've felt more uneasy just reading about true-crime.

wayyyy too many corny moments, not scary at all, and honestly I was not a big fan of any of the characters. also, I know it's a book, but damn Mr. King can we chill on the n-word??
