Story4 out of 5 stars 9
The City of Floria has a tragic history. Something haunts its streets, something dark, something evil. For centuries, thousands of peasants and merchants have vanished without a trace, with no explanation or motive. Out of fear, the port’s inhabitants have never investigated what is happening, merely accepting this curse that plagues their city. Not until a troubled man running from his past calls the forsaken city his new home.

A dark, gothic tale down the streets of floria
Reviewed: 05-16-24
I enjoyed this book and the narrator did a wonderful job. The descriptions of Floria and the inhabitants were very detailed, leading to vivid pictures in my mind. The characters were well written with very different personalities, which rounded out the story well for me.
I would give the building atmosphere of the book my highest rating. My only real compliment is I felt it would have been better if it had been longer. Perhaps that is a side effect of my liking the story. The end seemed to rush up all at once and I was not ready to leave Floria.

Story4 out of 5 stars 1,458
Nobody knows the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas like Daniel Faust, a sorcerer for hire and ex-gangster who uses black magic and bullets to solve his clients' problems. When an old man comes seeking vengeance for his murdered granddaughter, what looks like a simple job quickly spirals out of control. Soon Daniel stands in the crossfire between a murderous porn director; a corrupt cop with a quick trigger finger; and his own former employer, a racket boss who isn't entirely human.

If you like The Witcher you'll like this

Dark fantasy at its best. This isn't like Dresden from Jim Butcher by far. Very mature themes.
I picked this book up on a blind purchase. Honestly the cover caught my eye. When I read the description I knew I had to have it. If you consider dark fantasy along the lines of The Witcher games and books you'll definitely like this.

Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real. They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made 28 years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children.

A Classic with a Top-Notch Performance!

Probably the best audio book I've ever listened to
Reviewed: 08-11-17
Steven Weber does a phenomenal job with this story. I've listened to other audio books and they're good but not as good as his performance. He makes every single character come to life, to most likeable character, most hated, and to the creepiest. I couldn't imagine trying to read this book after listening to Weber perform it. King wrote the story but Weber brought it to life.
One of the biggest things I dislike about his epic books is leaving the characters behind. They grow on you and when it's time to say goodbye it's hard. This is the first time I've listened to It all the way through and to say the least, it's much more scary than the 1990 TV series.
On an end note, if you're King fan you'll love this book.
