Certainly not King's best work.
Having read The Langoliers, the first of his novellas in Four Past Midnight (it is also excellent), I had high hopes for this one, book 3 to The Langoliers book 1. I don't know what I was expecting but a promising start is squandered by a generic shape shifting beast story line that has many similarities with 'It'. It whisks along quickly enough (at 250 pages it's quite brief) but it's also nothing better than serviceable.
The initial arrival of the Library Policeman is scary as hell though. "Come with me thon, I'm a poleethman." Terrifying.
3/5
