** spoiler alert ** 
 Well, Stephen said himself at the end of this short book that it was going to be one of those stories that you either love or you hate; he didn't see much room for people being in the middle ground on this one. Unfortunately I'm in the latter camp, and I have yet to meet anyone who is in the former. One friend of mine who reads about seven million pages a minute, and is a HUGE SK fan didn't even bother to finish it, and it's only 180 pages long in paperback! Basically it's the set-up of a larger story that never gets told. Some dead dude just shows up in this town. (Really dead, not SK undead). Nobody knows anything about him, he was never seen before, and all police and journalist investigations turn up nothing. This is told to a junior journalist who is joining a newspaper, and she decides she's going to look into it herself. The end. That's right: The end. No resolution on that line. He said he was showcasing the set-up, or something like that. I didn't pay much attention to his reasoning behind such a poor story. I still own the book, but it's for the sake of SK collection completeness. I don't intend to ever read it again, not even the afterword just to find out what he was trying to say so I can tell you folks. Sorry.
