⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ How does he do it? How does King make horror so human? The focus isn‘t fear, nor the horror elements, it‘s the people, and the mundanity of their everyday lives. The Terror lives on the periphery, waiting. A father enveloped in grief allows naiveté to take hold. Questionable decisions are made. “Sometimes dead is better,” honey. There are some conveniences in this plot, but they work. I‘m not mad about it.

This #Magic title is from my #HauntedShelf TBR as well as #CastTheDie & I hope to start it soon.
I‘m also going to use it for the #BookScavengerHunt #HotDrink prompt for Team #Flerken points 👻
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cujo was the best boy until he wasn‘t, but unlike the human monsters in this book, he couldn‘t help it. King is very good at making insane things seem real. This story feels like it could‘ve happened. In his memoir On Writing, King states that he was regretfully so deep in his alcoholism, he doesn‘t really remember writing this book. #coverlove
⭐️⭐️ A family drama / thriller with all the usual types of characters. Too many convenient coincidences for me and the resolution was anticlimactic. A other one where the cover grabbed me. #coverlove
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A very strange coming of age story. Devin, desperate to overcome heartache, takes a job at Joyland to distract his mind and body. Surrounded by eccentric characters, he finds himself immersed in an unsolved murder. Though mystical elements come into play, this is not “typical” King, which is evident by the Hard Case Crime imprint. Devin is a fab narrator and I enjoyed getting to “know” him. A fun October #bookclub pick! #coverlove
⭐️⭐️ People are not rational beings. Too godly for divorce but not murder. Make it make sense. This isn‘t lengthy, but still a slog for me. I just didn‘t care about the story. Everyone was awful. The pretty cover got me. #coverlove
