Everything is familiar. But everything has changed. Coming back to the little community is like walking into a nightmare for Jim Gardener, poet, drunk, potential suicide. It all looks the same, the house, the furniture, Jim's friend Bobbi, her beagle (though ageing), even the woods out at the back. But it was in the woods that Bobbi stumbled over the odd, part-buried object and felt a peculiar tingle as she brushed the soft earth away. Everything is familiar. But everything is about to change.

I read this when I was in high school back in the 1990's that is when I really got into Stephen King. Now that I'm in my 30's I'm reading them all again. This is one of the oddest books that I think Stephen King has written that I've read. Many books are scary or weird but this one is odd, which makes it that much more fun!

A lot going on.
The way that Stephen King can juggle twenty of more different stories, characters, and ideas in a book and them tie them all together for a captivating outcome is astonishing. Some of his books take on so many directions that it almost seems impossible to have one ending that includes everybody mentioned. But just like the Stand, he pulls it off again. This book follows a whole town (sometimes the surrounding county as well) as they are affected by something found in the woods, and start changing into more than humans. The book is a clever idea made only better by the mant characters used to develop and bring the idea to life. It never stops moving forward with each one of the towns folk or outside influences playing an integral part in keeping you on the edge of your seat. The history thrown in, real or not, is fum as well.
