It was an enjoyable read, although story-wise not necessarily the masterpiece of the genre I was expecting. I was taken by surprise when they decided to adapt it as a sequel to Hill House, hadn't heard of it before (shame on me ). The prose was strong and engaging, definitely the highlight for me.

I really enjoyed it as I felt as though I was sat talking to MJ. How did you find it? I read Pet Sematary last year and really enjoyed that too. It's probably one of the creepiest Stephen King books that I have read. spread peace - #MJInnocent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
