God, I love the town of Castle Rock. I just feel like I know everyone here. Well, knew… People really like dying in this town.

THE LIBRARY POLICEMAN - 4/5 stars.

Messed up in a not-so-good way, yet ironically still the best of the 3 novellas so far. This is basically like if the fear-based monster aspect of IT (awesome!) and the vampires of SALEM’S LOT (cool!) had a novella-length lovechild and liked little kids too much (not so awesome/cool!).

Definitely just finished one of the most fucked up chapters I’ve ever read in a Stephen King book. Jesus.

Time for another novella from this!! I’ve heard mixed things about THE LIBRARY POLICEMAN so we’ll see how this one goes.

SECRET WINDOW, SECRET GARDEN. 2.5/5 stars.

It’s not awful but I was definitely not a fan of this one. It’s basically a novella version of THE DARK HALF.

THE LANGOLIERS. 4/5 stars.

Slow but very likable characters for the most part. I very much resonate with the one guy who slept through this entire novella.
