Just finished the book Apt. Pupil by Stephen King. Has anyone else read this book? If so, what are your thoughts?

Hello everyone,

My, how you've grown... actually f**K me you've grown. I stepped away for a few months and there's 125K more of you! Less than two years ago we just barely crossed 100K community members. I cannot fully express how proud I am of this community.

So first things first, announcements:

By popular demand, drop by the community on Sunday for our shiny new...

Weekly "What Are You Reading?" Thread!

also by popular demand, or rather my being at the wrong end of some torches and pitchforks...

MONTHLY Self-Promotion Thread!

That's right, the self-promotion thread is now a monthly affair.

That's it! As always, questions, comments, suggestions, and concerns are welcome below or via chat/mod-message.

Get spooky, y'all.

Hey guys. Just got my day one copy of Black Mouth and can’t wait to get into this baby. Been a fan of Ronald Malfi for awhile now. I started with Bone White and have been working my way through his stuff. Last summer I read December Park and loved it. Had that summertime It feeling to it. Come With Me was my last winter read and I really enjoyed it as well. Malfi is just solid. He’s one of the few writers out there that I’ll just blindly buy whatever new release he has. Anyone else getting this one?
