Awesomly gory but excellently written! (0 more)
Read these as a teenager and loved the intricate narrative in each story. Couldn't recommend more as a gateway to longer horror books like those by Stephen King

My Life for You
My absolute favorite Stephen King novel. He can paint a picture on the walls of your mind you cannot replicate. I love this book.

This scared me half to death. It seems quite an innocuous story to begin with, but it just builds and builds. It's very reminiscent of a few Stephen King stories (involving cars or creatures of the night), but at the same time, we shouldn't compare Joe Hill to Stephen King (I have GOT to stop doing that!). He very much has his own stories to tell. And this is a good one. And I quite like being scared to death, for the record.

I am a huge horror fan and this by far is the best for me. It is one of my favourite by Stephen King and Pennywise never fails to creep me out a little 😊. (0 more)

Interesting Read
I have enjoyed Stephen King's books for a long time now so I was eager to read this book that he wrote with his son Owen who is also a talented writer. The premise for the book is quite interesting and the story being told from the perspective of the different characters in the book is well done. There are a lot of familiar Stephen King themes, but there is a lot of Owen King in here too.
I liked the book, but I felt the story ran a little longer than it should and the ending itself is rather disappointing. There are a few places where it didn't really feel like a Stephen King book, but I still liked the story. It is an interesting read which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is not as strong as previous King novels.
