I read one story in full and half of the other. First story a man does a horrible thing to his wife and is duly haunted. Does King really want me to be afraid of this haunting? The man was bad & got whats coming to him in my opinion. Second story starts with the grotesque rape of cute little author woman. The whole description was very clearly a man writing about woman’s trauma thinking he could understand it —but utterly failing to do so. I didn’t want to stomach it. None of the writing made me want to stay reading. It wasn’t terrible writing but I don’t feel like he was using the horror to convey some greater idea. And it was hardly supernatural or anything just the daily horror women live through Just kind of gross. I didn’t finish because I didn’t want to waste my time.
