![]() ![]() Love King’s writing style, and will always pick up his books without question. Though I would not recommend reading this story without reading The Outsider, while it reads very stand alone, I think to be able to fully understand Holly you need to read more about her first, as this is only a snip-it. I LOVE her, and seeing more into her past, and catching up with how she is doing now was a great read. I am also thrilled to hear that Holly is one of Kings favorites, because I hope that means we’ll be seeing more of her in the future. So I am glad that King dove deeper into that idea, and approached it from a different angle. The Outsider left me with a spooky feeling, as the thought of a SPOILER was quite terrifying. It’s a thought that is one redone, with selling souls, and crossroads. The rat story was one to ponder, with the whole “at what cost” idea. I personally think the one about Chuck would be HILARIOUS to see happen in real life, well not the end of the world part, just the over dramatic advertising about a person no one knew. ![]() They reminded me of episodes of The Outer Limits, short make you think reads. 30 April 2020 T he title story of this quartet of tales is billed as a standalone sequel to King’s last book, The Outsider, about an evil doppelgänger child murderer. The 3 unrelated stories, were quirky, and weird. Reading the book without realizing this made me ponder if they were at all connected. Turns out this was a compilation of short stories. ![]() I’d heard through random bookstagramers that this book continued with the story in The Outsider. I really need to read blurbs but I probably won’t start any time soon. ![]()
