My jaw hit the floor when I read this one. It has the supernatural funk of a Stephen King novel and the horror to match. But what makes this a unique read is Jackson's skilled commentary on racism. This one is for fans of psychological horror, unexplained phenomena, and fraught social situations. Basically, if you like things to get weird and messy, you're gonna love this one.
