This story is simply brilliant and fascinating. When I saw the movie I was pretty much frightened. I wish I could write so nightmarish stories as Mr King...

The voice on that phone scared the bee-jeebus out of me. I was so frightened I had to put the book out in the garage - I didn't want it in the house for fear that evil would come out of it and get me. Haven't been able to pick the book back up since! I love that!!

I am so freakin glad they turned this one into a movie. it's one of the few things that after you read it, you feel all dazed and weird for awhile. so disturbing. like taking a hit of really bad LSD in a hotel room by yourself... or more like being unknowingly dosed and sent to a "haunted" hotel room. WHEW!!!

This is another compelling Stephen King story about the supernatural, and particularly about a man who don't believe in it, but who experiences it firsthand and is forced to confront its reality. I had a number of such experiences, as a middle-aged man, in a haunted house owned by a relative. Unexplainable things started to happen after a close relative, who had lived there, passed away in a nursing home. At first I was terrified, but it opened up my mind to a different aspect of our existence. Only in the West do we deny such things. King, a popular writer, makes it easier for people to accept the reality of this usually unseen part of our lives.
