Stephen King's Bag of Bones


I am not a fan of the horror genre and Stephen King is a best selling author so - my illogical thought processes reasoned - I couldn't possibly enjoy his books.

But other authors acclaim his story telling skills and I decided I should read at least one King novel, if only to prove my own prejudices
correct. So I picked this book off the shelf of my local library.

Well, I was wrong. He is not a good writer. He is a great writer.

I read "Bag of Bones" - during daylight hours only! The story was complex, the characters believable and the supernatural elements were woven into the plot with such skill that disbelief was easily suspended (by this reader anyway).

Anyway, back to the library for more ......
