Awesome, and quite dark with lots of intrigue, action, and suspense. A lot of it involves how people react to situations that are impossible in a normal world (but come on, not only is this SK land, it involves Castle Rock, ME, so you know nothing normal is going to happen here). Writer Thad Beaumont's pseudonym (George Stark) is about to be exposed by an opportunist, so Thad kills the pseudonym. However, it comes to life, and starts killing people who helped kill him, but it can't kill Thad because that would mean the end of him as well. It's pretty cool how it all plays out.

A line I remember because I found it so entertaining (and I know people who are like this): "She walked as if she had a spindle up her box and another one tucked up her butt and both of them turning just as brisk as you please."

I highly suggest reading this one as long as you can stomach horror, and some rather gory scenes.
