well, now: this is some kind of 'how would S. King write a Lovecraftian story', even with the obligated sex scene, which surprises you. it's not a bad book, i just don't really like this style. I get everything told, what appears vaguely at the edges of the field of view. and, to start a discussion about the 'true' genre of cosmic horror, it is not in the spirit, but uses expertly the staff and leitmotifs to write something about grieve and loss.

despite what i just said, it's fine and the old-man-narrator of the audiobook converts it into quite an enjoyable experience.
