*Spoilerish, I guess* As I sat and read this section about the grieving Maitlands "taking the sacrament of Daddy" by listening to his old records, I turned my head to the right and saw the stand that holds my Dad's old records and a small wave of grief rushed over me. So much of King's power as a writer is in these small, character-based moments.
