Title: Whoa! What a steaming pile this thing is.
Review: I can't believe Stephen King endorsed this book, let alone say it is the best horror of the new century. This is one of the absolute worst books I have ever read, and I read a lot. I am actually shocked this got published. It really feels like a rough sketch of a book. Almost like the author was attempting to outline the story to sell it, albeit in very long form, and then intended to add things later and then never did. These are important things, like character development and plot. This book has only vague sketches of either. Don't waste your time.
