Oooh, a little on the dark side. Very well written. I’m glad that you held back on the darker version. This one gave out Stephen King vibes in some places.

Thanks! King would have been more direct about explaining the spookiness, no?

Mostly he is but sometimes he is vague and sort of beats about the bush.

Like The Dark Tower I suppose. One King book that I couldn't get through.

The only King book I couldn’t finish. The series is quite famous though. Just not my type I guess.

The first King book I ever read was a humongous volume called The Talisman, a collaboration between King and Peter Straub (I never understood how these collaborations work). I was in first year B.Sc, I think. It took me damn near a year to finish it.

I never understood parts of it but kind of ended up liking it by the time I finished it. The genre is called fantasy horror I think. Not sure.
