bookshelves: constant-reader-balloon-spells, spec-fi-i-guess
Read 2 times. Last read June 12, 2016 to June 24, 2016.
Is this a horror novel hiding in a speculative fiction book, or a speculative fiction read pretending to be a horror novel? Something's happening in New Haven, Maine, something strange and unsettling and only one man can save the day, but he's a drunk, suicidal and once shot his ex wife in the face!
Still a good read, despite being written when King was himself struggling with addiction, which is evident in the leading themes! Big yay for me, with The Shop making an appearance. 8 out of 12.

Hi Jay.We never forget key first reads when we were young, do we? :) Mine were C.S Lewis and Judy Blume(!) books.
