This is a true horror book by the son of the king of horror. I liked how the story flowed and was easy to read. Through most of the book I found myself pictured in the scene of the book. Not many books will take the reader to that place and to actually feel like they are part of the book. Being a true horror fan I would highly recommend this book to people like me.

This is one my favorites :) I've come to love Joe Hill probably even more than King. I think this would be my favorite but Horns is amazing and NOS4A2 is a good one too. Have you read anything else by him?
I seem to be in the minority with this book, as it really didn't do much for me. I might try another of his at some point, but for me, he can't compete with his papa. :)
What did you not like about it? I may be able to give you an idea of whether or not you would like any of his other books :)
It's been years since I read it, so I can't actually remember much about it. I remember though, that Stephen King's books got under my skin and into my head (so much so that I had to stop reading them) and were truly frightening & disturbing. This book didn't even raise as much as a hair - I didn't find it scary or compelling at all. I had such high hopes too!
