I liked this one! But damn the ‘vampire/haunted lot’ plot came into the story extremely late. And as soon as I started to like some new side characters – they all died off, stoping growth and connection for me as a reader with these characters. One thing that nerved me was having a character named Matt and Mark and it always took me a few seconds to distinguish which is which. Regardless, King’s simplistic but poignant writing style did make for it an enjoyable read – and I do keep at the back of my mind that I am reading King’s works in chronological order of publication.

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
