4.5 stars.

I know King has mentioned in the past that this is his favorite book that he's written, and I think it shows in a lot of ways. Obviously he's an author who's never been afraid to write about writing -- whether we're talking about Jack Torrance or his memoir/instructional piece of non-fiction, On Writing. But here I think we get a glimpse, however slight, into how he feels about writing, the dark places he and other horror writers delve, and marriage as a union, both physical and spiritual.
