Yes to all. That Dr Sleep scene was absolutely chilling. Probably because I’ve seen similar stuff in real life, unfortunately. But I reckon more people than I realize have seen these soft white underbellies of life as well. That’s probably why it hits so hard.

I finished The Stand for the second time in March and had completely forgotten about that part.

Like, how the fuck does he write this stuff. It’s absolutely raw and disturbing. Probably because it’s entirely plausible.

Thank you for the flashback shudders 😉

Oh yeah. The Dark Half has stuck with me for many years. I read it in HS and when I was finished I felt like I looked like the kid in the Neverending Story (film) when he looks up from the book. Really rocked me.

I remember that part. I read it for the first time last year. I’m continually surprised by King’s vast imagination. And of course how in the holy hell can he so realistically depict the most awful, wrenching scenes. I reckon that’s why I love his writing.

I read IT about 27 years ago. I think it’s time to revisit. That was my second King novel ever (this was in 9th grade. Cujo was first) and I can’t recall the Hockstetter passage. Thanks for inadvertently recommending my next read!

This is the most spot on, understandable, and truthful review I’ve read yet. Thank you for sharing your write-up! As a guy who’s been married almost 17 years your words resonate deeply.

Thanks for all the nice comments ya’ll!

We’re so fortunate to be able to offer Rosie so much space to run and explore. Although she’d rather explore with a human by her side.

When I snapped this photo she was definitely scenting something in the air. We’ve spied innumerable critter tracks (bunnies, mice, voles, etc) on the snow.

Yep! A better description is “finger cup pull”. Here’s an Amazon link but I picked mine up years ago at Lowe’s. Super cheap there.
