I wanted something quick to read that was different from a lot of what I've been reading lately. This was a great novella, and I look forward to reading more of Stephen King's work. It was a bit predictable, but the writing was still great

Similar to Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter. Both great!

Two stories from Full Dark, No Stars

I have the book Full Dark, No Stars, but didn't recognize the title when I purchased this. Both stories are good, and I enjoyed far-reaching them.

Slightly predictable, but very well paced and a well-contained story without any questions. Can definitely see why this got turned into a movie and looking forward to watching it in the future.

3.5. I wanted a quick little read to get me back in the groove of things and this did the trick. The concept was simple but I liked it, and I'm really glad it was a novella rather than a full book. I thought it could have actually even been shorter. But overall no major complaints, I love a single-setting mystery/horror and this was basically that so I'm happy enough. Happy birthday Stephen King
