Un buon racconto, seppur non tra i migliori di sempre di King (qui con il figlio Joe Hill). Ciò che mi piace delle storie brevi, è che non è necessario spiegare perché le cose accadono, come in questo caso. Fino a più di metà racconto, la tensione resta alta, sul finale si perde un po' però.
Ultima considerazione, che riguarda solo noi Fedeli Lettori italiani, 4,99 € per un racconto sono davvero eccessivi. Diciamocelo. (
