Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

It is surely fair to say that there will never be another writer like Stephen King, a master of his genre in such a way that rivals Dickens, Terry Pratchett, Agatha Christie or Jane Austen in their chosen avenues of exploring the desire and darkness within the human experience, a fair assumption that despite many suggesting he has lost his touch, or perhaps just simply been part of the everyday for far too long. It is more than likely that his performance as a writer, the stories crafted, still thrill millions around the world, the power of his imagination continues to hit heights that perhaps install just a twinge of envy in some, and downright rude resentment in others.
