Helpful Score: 6
Don't read this expecting horror because it's not. It's not even structured like your typical novella, with the entire story simply a dialog between three people.
I think King is great with premise - setting an eerie stage and invoking intense curiosity; however, he stumbles and falls with this one. Instead of his typical altruistic main character's sacrificial last act of life, this offers no resolution. Well, the story-within-the-story doesn't. And that's what draws us to the story in the first place. Not recommended for anyone, not even King fans.
