Long time King reader and trying to check all his works off the list eventually, but I have been veering away lately for some lighter reads. I always seem to get called back, though.

Picked up Rose Madder and I had no idea what it was about. I'm about halfway through, and while it's SO different than what I expected, I am equally horrified and have such a sense of dread.

There is no other author I've read that elicits such a visceral reaction from me and leaves me feeling so uncomfy in a good way.

I recently read 1408 and it was my favorite story in a long time. Rose Madder definitely gives me similar vibes.

I love Rose Madder. Such an underrated King novel.
