Summary: #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King suspends a small town in a haze of terror - as humanity makes its last stand against unholy destruction...

My Thoughts: Abrupt and not as scary as I thought it was going to be. Stephen King appears to have the habit of building up the story and then just knocking it down in one fell swoop. I felt robbed to be honest.

The writing was okay, the characters left something to be desired, and the story was flat. I know this is one of his more infamous novels so perhaps that's why I was left disappointed. I expected more than there was.

And with that... FINIS.
