Review

An amateur work. The earliest work I can find by King. Much of his early work was definitely inspired by classic horror, this one being very much a Frankenstein kind of story. While it is fun to read, don’t expect polished professionalism. He was only nineteen when he wrote this. But still interesting. Definitely for the King fans, but more casual readers probably wouldn’t like this.
