That was fun! 
 Why I picked it up 
 I local book club that I don't participate in but which I kind of stalk read it around October (duh) last year. I put it on hold at the library and didn't get it till much later. 
 I'd read NOS4A2 and liked it, so was looking forward to another Joe Hill ride. 
 What I liked about it 
 It was dark and serious, but also a little silly at times. Like Ig's physical transformation is a little heavy handed. A literal bright red, goateed, pitchfork wielding devil? And when he went to raid the fridge and ate an entire plate of, wait for it, deviled eggs? The thing is though, each time something like that happened, it elicited a chuckle and not a groan, so Hill must have known what he was doing. 
 The story-telling itself was really enjoyable. The pacing and the character development and the plot reveals were well done. 
 What I want to remember 
 Is "childhood bullies come back as monsters" just kind of a King family thing?
