Review: Make sure you have time to read this in one sitting

The King is the second literary work that I have read by Rick Soper. Soper does not write quickly-absorbed, light, beach-y reads. He uses complex sentence structures and ideas that are both engaging and enriching. Soper peppers his writing with a dash of horror - which is not to my taste. Yet, I read The King in one sitting, unwilling to turn out my lights until I had finished every word, because I was enjoying myself so much. I would recommend this novella to anyone who likes well-crafted stories that have a dark cast.
