October 2022 -
You know a book is great when it’s accidentally become an annual reread. I always love coming back to this one in October.

So good. Definitely top 5 King books.
This did not surpass my personal favorite in this genre...Let the Right One In....but like that one, this was much more than just a horror story. Horror is not my favorite or usual reading, but I really enjoy a great vampire story. In my opinion, the vampires in this story are secondary. They are nasty and bad.
