Welcome. :) Unfortunately, I will not be able to discuss tonight as I have family over for a visit. Wanted to pop in and create this thread, though. Feel free to discuss! I will post my thoughts when I can.
...as will I....headed to bed early...winter storm moving in and I’ll have to fire the Jeep up much sooner and head to the prison....

I was afraid to read this one.

When King writes about something that I am truly terrified of, I tend not to enjoy it. (Cujo. <shiver> )

So, reading about
a child being abducted...I almost gave up. But, it was short and I quickly realized it was going to be.....different. I thought his grandfather was going to be Satan.

I’m not sure what the rules are re; spoiler tags. Figured better safe than sorry.

Okay, *tonight* we discuss. My days have been off all week! :p

I like “Popsy” a good deal more than “Night Flier.” It gets to the point and it actually scares me. Good stuff.

I like this one too. I like how the two vampire stories are placed next to each other in the book and are so completely different in tone and pace.

Popsy is a real page turner.

One was published in 1987 and the other in 1988.

I didn't get round to reading Popsy :( I've been gathering info and forms for our income tax and my brain kinda died :( I'm glad to see y'all enjoyed it :) I'm going to read it as soon as my stupid brain heals
