Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Kermit Hodges is in pain, emotionally, physically and spiritually, he is running out of time to really get to the bottom of his most dangerous investigation, what really went on in the mind of Brady Hartsfield when he became a mad and psychotic killer hell bent on destruction. It is a case that has had Stephen King fans perhaps slightly bemused by the turn round in genre direction in the last couple of years but one that culminates in a novel that could stem out of the writer’s classic period, one that delves into the heart of the confines of the mind and how such things as telekinesis and mental projection can just as horrifying, just as filled with nightmares as the appearance of werewolves, psychotic clowns and vampires.
