I only have so many things I can say without being a spoiler of this amazing piece of horror fiction.  I read it all and have been a lover of King since I was 8 years old. This masterful, suspenseful novel kept me awake for long hours into the night ever since the first contact with the 'entity' which haunts the story of this novel.  An entity is surely the best word I can use to sum up the unnatural occurrences.  I was kept on the edge of my for every word of Martin's elegant writing style.The prose was lovely. So lovely that I found myself taking notes with my kindle at key parts so that I could find certain points again. I was a little confused at some parts of the story, fortunately, context and thorough explanations were later given which made my bewilderment brief.But my favorite part of it all? Her. People who have read this will know who 'She' is. I love that this author wasn't afraid to use a female presence! One that kicked ass, took names, and left the many characters (there are many, and they each serve a very, very important role in unraveling this mystery) scratching their heads.Sumerland is a wicked look into the world of horror and I would not want to visit it.
