pleasantly surprised by this. it's like if Stephen King wasn't afraid of not appealing to normies.

>>25123277It's been collecting dust on my shelf for many years now.I became a classics-reading pseud and never gave it a chance
Fun book.
>>25123277wanting to read this but as superficial as it sounds the author's pen name of "Jack Ketchum" pisses me off so much and makes me think of Pokemon rather than Jack the killer like he intended so it puts me out of it.I just read His Pain by Wrath James White, I just recently got into extreme horror / splatterpunk after reading some Clive Barker.Part of me has trouble reading things like this because I usually view reading through the lends of benefit and entertainment rather than just entertainment. I realize it's dumb and you can gain something from nearly anything but I feel silly sitting down to read something like this. not really sure how to articulate it.
