Not many readers this year!

Finished most of the leftovers from last year, digging into Bloch's original classic. Already interesting in how it differs from the movie, though not necessarily in bad ways. There's something cool about reading this story and seeing Norman Bates on the opening page and learning about his relationship with his mother through a striking and emotional argument. The Gods Themselves had a solid opening, a fantastically weird middle, and a somewhat limp final act. The Bazaar of Bad Dreams is a lesser King collection, too ruminative and wandering most of the time to create the same whiskey-shot pleasure of collections like Skeleton Crew and Nightmares and Dreamscapes.
