 NOT one of his best - at least in my opinion - but still a good read.

 Gorgeously written story. I would also recommend its Alternate Universe sister book, "The Regulators." They are both beautifully written, by the master of horror, Stephen King (well The Regulators was written by Stephen King under the pseudonym Richard Bauchman.)

 In this deeply disturbing look at ghost towns, we see an unlikely group of heroes gathering to do battle against a timeless evil. Sounds like most Stephen King novels right? But this one has an interesting twist...A young boy becomes the spiritual leader and head of the rescue team. That alone is not atypical of King. He tends hold the "child-like faith" in high esteem. But here we see, not just child-like faith in anything, but an actual Christian message. The boy defeats the darkness through his faith in Jesus of the Bible and restores and renews the faith of an old, hardened alcoholic along the way. As usual, King has managed to address more than just the surface level horror of our deep fears and really touch our hearts through this novel.

 I don't have the option to hate this book. I wish I could put into words exactly why I can't stand this book, but it's more a feeling I got from it than any actual, sensible reasons.
