Short, sweet, and scary. For those of you with short attention spans, or others who hate long drawn out readings, again, Four Past Midnight might just be for you.This novella not only held me in suspense while gripping my hand until my knuckles turned white, but it also made me realize how remarkable our imagination can be if it's left to its own discretion. Films, CGI, and actors can only do so much to represent horror, but your imagination is limitless. I never thought that a book could be scarier than what movies create, but King proved me wrong: your mind is a movie that no one else can create, but yourself. This book isn’t scary enough to keep you up at night, but King does let your own mind wander to create the monster in your own head. This book stands out over any horror movie. If you are bored, getting tired of the same cliche books, or overwatching movies that don’t really give you excitement, Four Past Midnight is for you.You might be wondering how a book could be scarier than a movie and why you should read this book, well keep reading to find out. If you thought horror movies were scary, just wait until you start reading this book (or any of his books for that matter).
If anyone is familiar with Stephen King (how can you not), you will know that he is known for his mystery/thriller/horror themes in all his books. Old Pop Merrill, Castle Rock’s sharpest trader, aims to exploit it for profit, but this creature that shouldn’t exist at all is a very dangerous investment. If he can find it in time, he might stand a chance.įour Past Midnight: “The Sun Dog" is a menacing canine appearing in every Polaroid picture that fifteen-year-old Kevin Delevan takes with his new camera, beckoning him to the supernatural. But for small businessman Sam Peebles, who thinks he may be losing his mind, another enemy is hiding there as well-the truth. Three Past Midnight: “The Library Policeman” is set in Junction City, Iowa, an unlikely place for evil to be hiding. Alone, that is, until a figure named John Shooter arrives, pointing an accusing finger.
Two Past Midnight: “Secret Window, Secret Garden” enters the suddenly strange life of writer Mort Rainey, recently divorced, depressed, and alone on the shore of Tashmore Lake. Only eleven passengers survive, but landing in an eerily empty world makes them wish they hadn’t. One Past Midnight: “The Langoliers” takes a red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Boston into a most unfriendly sky.
After all, past midnight, is Stephen King’s favorite time of day…
