I'm reading Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill. It seems pretty solid so far, but it's funny how much it recalls his old man's work. Specifically the aging rock star protagonist and the use of several repeating mantras/phrases. Still, it's starting stronger than anything King has written in awhile. I was hoping for something legitimately scary but it seems like it might be something I enjoy more for its decent character work- which is how I feel about a lot of King. Anybody in here read it?

Drifter posted:I have in fact read Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill and really enjoyed it. I saw the movie of Horns and thought it was loving stupid and boring. Oh man, I loving loved Watchers back in the day too. I remember the end when the monster finds the dog's Mickey Mouse toy or something along those lines made me really sad. Something like they were both from the same experiment but the dog was treated well while the monster was neglected and the only thing they had in common was Mickey Mouse. I also remember a weird hitman who had a boner for killing pregnant women and someone threw up an oatmeal cookie at some point?

Every day, for weeks. This 100%. I used to live in a state of constant anxiety that Mothman or something was gonna come through my window. I still have some of the books kicking around somewhere I think.
