Maybe he was ruminating that, if he could not improve what he had, he was not meaning to continue his contributions to literary terror.But, in addition, it seemed to him that a novel as spooky and beautiful as it is "a very badly built book".Thus, he confessed that it could be his last horror story: “For now, in regards to the Book of the Book of the Month of Stephen King, this is the time for the sale of liquidation.Everything must leave ".We are glad, then, that it did not comply with it.We would have lost a lot of enjoyment in the future.
