Review: Half-Baked. Heavy on the Meh.

You'd be hard pressed to find a more dedicated and loyal Stephen King fan than me, which is why it pains me to write this review. I really wanted to love this book. It had all the creepy "monster car" appeal of From a Buick 8, but the plot. It just petered out way before it had a chance to get interesting. And the ending felt really tacked on. All in all, this short story felt like more of an advertisement for King's upcoming 11/22/63. Looking forward to that book, but as a longtime fan of King's short stories, I know he's capable of far better. If this had been tossed into one of his collections, I might not care as much, but for $2.99, I expect more from my favorite author.
