Like many spooky girls, I have been terrifying myself with Stephen King’s stories since I was honestly too young to read them. YOU LIKE IT DARKER is a compelling collection of stories that stay with you long after the lights go off, but the one that stood out to me the most was RATTLESNAKES. You probably remember the scary, anxiety-rising, desperately sad story of Cujo. How could you forget about poor little Tad? Well, in RATTLESNAKES, we meet his father, still mourning the loss of his boy over 40 years later. And guess how he’s doing? Bad! One of the things I appreciate and enjoy about Stephen King is that you never know when you might meet a character again. After all, like a real person, a character’s story goes on after the book ends, right? It feels rewarding as a reader, like I’ve stuck with him all these years, and remember the people and places as if I knew them personally. (Sometimes I do in my nightmares!)
