A review by kiti227
Bag of Bones by Stephen King
4.0
Horror house story x the horrors of history made by humans because our species f-ing sucks.
Standard great horror story by King, interlaced with standard psychological story by King. So basically Kings two bests combined. This might be my favourite genre of his so far.
Unfortunately the stories aren't quite his best, in my opinion. I mean, it's still King, so they kick ass for days, but in special orders King chart, they're only good.
As per most of his books in this era, the horror elements don't tie in that seamlessly and don't get resolved completely.
The more human nature focused parts hit deep though. Especially the rape scene sticks for a loooong time.
Good read, haunting, but also slightly unsatisfactory.
