Pages simply meting away as the story, gathering pace, rolls towards its conclusion.

Still with the story and want to get through it as quickly as I can. The rush seems necessary because I am also watching the tv series and find the differences in the two stories disturbing my enjoyment of both the book and the series.

It's his reputation as a writer of horror stories that has stopped me from embracing his books openly. It's his talent for creating credible characters and describing small town life that is the lure drawing me back again and again for yet another fascinating journey into one of his imaginary worlds.
