(audio) stephen king is the master of horror for a reason. his descriptions and storytelling skills are UNMATCHED. he's incredible at conveying pure unadulterated terror, and he has a really solid grasp on ugly topics such as grief and hysteria. i'm slightly disappointed in the ending (and maybe that's just a me problem), but the buildup was incredible.
