Gerald's Game is a weird loving book. It's one of the few books that have made me really uncomfortable.

The basic premise for horror there is pretty inventive, tho.

- Flagg is the only one showing with actual supernatural power beyond a psychic ability. And we know Flagg from other books.

I'd want to note that The Stand is Flagg's first appearance. I would prefer to not interpret the character in The Stand through what Steve-O later came up with.

I think The Dark Half is one of those books by King that managed to actually disappoint me all the way through. Been many years since I read it, but it felt like something that never actually gets to the point at all.

I am probably wrong about this, but the new Stand series seemed like because of the whole covid thing going on, it wanted to get past the whole pandemic part of the story too fast so to not offend people. Which is a bad choice, because that's some of the greatest stuff in the book.

I enjoyed quite a bit that the movie version of Dr Sleep has that scene where Danny and his buddy just light the vampires the hell up with rifles. That was actually great.
