Is it a horror story?

Yes, in a sense. I just noticed the electricity provider has been over charging me

I also found The Gunslinger to be kind of meh the first time I read it, but the ending was interesting enough for me to try the next book in the series. I ended up reading them all and I can say that they do get better, with books 2, 3, and 4 of the Dark Tower series being the best (imho).
It was only after reading them all and eventually rereading The Gunslinger, that I found the wholdbbook more interesting, but even then the approach remained a little lackluster for me, event hough, overall, the series became a favorite of mine.
I’d say give the next book after Gunslinger a try and see if it grabs you. They’re not really ‘horror’ like his other books like his other books though.

Day off so I built a book nest and have pizza coming to me. I’ll start with this. I picked it up on a whim and am pleased to find out it is about addiction and womanhood. You can judge a book by its cover.

I might give it a try. I was just so unimpressed with it, I couldn’t wrap my head around how the book became a best seller. Just because it had his name attached to it, I suppose.

The whole “other worlds” and kinda time travely idea was good, but the first book didn’t really convey it well. The first book definitely dragged for me, but I really liked the following books. 5-7 weren’t as good as 2-4, in my opinion.

Currently reading One Of Us Is Lying. Basically a teen drama/murder mystery. It’s pretty entertaining. Totally could be made into a miniseries.

I read the Shining and Pet Semetary in my 20’s and they both really scared me. Tough one for you w a birthing cat in the house.

Already done. It’s on Netflix. But read the books first. It’s a trilogy, I’m currently on the 3rd and last book of the Bayview series: One Of Us Is Back.

There are also four stand alone books from the same author. All young adult fiction - I read them all, I liked them all

I like his novellas the best, I think. He has a collection called “The Bachman Books”. There was a peiod of time where Stephen King wrote under the pen name Richard Bachman. Cool stuff.
I didn’t dig “The Langoliers” though…the book or the TV movie.
