Lisey's Story by Stephen King

Stephen King has been my favourite author since I was 12 or 13, going on (gulp!) 25 years now. His books are the only ones I buy immediately, in hardcover, for full price.

Lisey's Story is about the widow of a renowned author of horror, her late husband, and exactly where he gets his ideas from. Lisey clearly is inspired by his own wife, Tabitha.

I found it a little slow at first, but when it picked up, BAM!

Good, creepy, classic Stephen King fun.

That's a picture of his house in Bangor, by the way, that I took last summer on vacation. Check out the spiderweb design on the gates.
