I did like the homage to Lovecraft, the Necronomicon and Frankenstein because Charles “Danny” Jacobs is a mad scientist obsessed with electricity. Charlie/Danny starts his journey as a pastor who is only a little interested in electricity and what I'd call a hobbyist. By the last page when Jamie who is telling us this story and Charlie/Danny have their final battle so to speak the the antagonist has gone into full on obsession like only a good mad scientist can.

This book isn't one of my favorite of King, but I really liked the ending. Sometimes when I read Stephen King's books (not short stories) I'm all “WOW” This is GREAT! This book is scaring me a lot


Then BAMMMM!


At least this time it made sense and I think it had great build up. Jamie was just okay as a character but I did enjoy the malevolence of the antagonist. It was definitely well written. Wish we'd had more of it but I'll be satisfied with the amount I got and the great climax.
