Really good story, love it. I really like the references to IT, like the neighbor called Denbrought, I guess she is Bills mom, but maybe its just the name... and in some point they remember the catastrophe to the town at the end of IT.

Really good story. The fact that Tom was actually good person and that Streeter wasnt feeling guilty at all made it much more disturbing. Good read, Mr. King

I don't think the merchant was the devil, but he was evil, and evil people (and evil beings too) need money. But, was he evil? Most authors use names with meaning, though this one escapes me, King certainly always uses this, i.e. Andre LeNoge (if I spelled that one right)...He certainly provided something of real value to Streeter, and echoing another reader, It was refreshing to find a character who didn't try to "fix" his own evil deed, though that's an interesting concept for the reader to imagine - to commit a "sin" of this magnitude, destroying Tom's family, and not being remorseful...what a great immoral character! My last brief thought, and I think Mr. King would agree with me....real people are often more dark and evil than those supernatural beings we believe exists....after all, who made who (and the thoughts and actions certainly came from real life)? "WE MADE YOU! WE MADE YOU!" lol, yes, we certainly do.

At first i also tought that Streeter would eventualy start feeling guilty, but when i saw that he actually enjoyed every little bad thing that happened to his "friend" it actually made the story even better for me. There are many stories where the main character ends up wanting to fix things, so this one was something else.....at least that's my own two cents about it.

First book I ever read was Salem's Lot, have been a fan ever since. My very favorite is The Stand. Just wanted you to know you've provided years of enjoyment to this Constant Reader. Many thanks.
