When 40-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan returns to his lakeside cabin to process his wife's death, he finds the place a beacon for nightmares and ghoulish visits. But there's a certain warmth and believability to King's voice--after all, it's his book and he is a middle-aged bestselling novelist--that jive well with Noonan's character.

King as always had a great narrative style and great character development, but the story didn't quite work for me. King writes many things quite well, but I don't like how he describes ghosts. Perhaps it is not a fair assessment as it is opinion, but it wasn't my favorite.
