Nach Joyland fand ich dieses Buch deutlich unheimlicher. Durch diese Geschichte hat sich die Spannung von vorne bis hinten durchgezogen. 
Die Angst vor dem Unbekannten im Nebel hat sich bei allen Charakteren auf eine andere Art gezeigt und sich in ihrem Verhalten gezeigt. 

Manche Handlungen von David waren fraglich. Dass er plötzlich mit Amanda schläft, obwohl er verheiratet ist und nicht weiß wie es seiner Frau geht. Er denkt dabei zwar an sie, aber trotzdem ist es nicht okay.

Was ich aber an ihm mochte war, dass er sich immer um Billy gekümmert hat und dafür gesorgt hat, dass es ihm gut geht.

It was gripping and mysterious. I dislike how King resorts to “I’m literally beyond terrified, love me male character, make crazy tense silent live to me” in nearly every book. It’s not that sex isn’t a realistic coping mechanism, but it is annoying. Go crank one out with your hand buddy. Especially since he hadn’t really given up on his wife yet and was assuming she was alive (hoping in vain). At the end he definitely knows that this mist is much bigger and worse than he had ever feared. And so, clinging to the babysitter is believable.

I honestly would’ve given this five stars but the random sex scene in the supermarket while they were under siege, where his kid was sleeping, and while the main character didn’t know if his wife was dead or alive threw me off so bad. Like it wasn’t even badly written is was just so fucking dumb.
