Pretty good book. Has good bits of humor in it. The main character is highly likeable. It's a good crime mystery.

In A Dark Place The Story Of A True Haunting
by

This is one of the scariest books ever written, and one of only two that have actually scared me. It's a hard to find rarity, but if you can buy it and you're into horror, you should check it out.

Blaze

A great King novel that you'll "blaze" through. It is both a good homage to John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men as well as a good double story of its own. Recommended to King fans and those that are new to him alike.

Candles Burning

Candles Burning is a great book - a very fast read and hard to put down. If you like ghost stories or mysteries, I highly recommend this title as it is a good blend of the two.

Bag Of Bones
by
Stephen King

, July 14, 2007
As the flap on the book says, Bag of Bones is Stephen King's most gripping and unforgettable novel. Very true indeed. It's my favorite book of his. The characters are by far the realest I've encountered in any work of fiction. They've stayed with me long after finishing the book. While I've read lots of good books, most of them don't have that kind of lasting effect that Bag of Bones has. It's a rarity. It's a very emotional story, touching on every emotion, and with great depth. I laughed, I cried, I felt fear. I loved it when I read it, and my love for it continues to linger - behold the power of an ineffably great book, in my opinion, the best ever written. Whether you're a King fan or not, I highly recommend this book. I can't praise it enough.
