Did Stephen King like Needful Things?
He was past his addictions when he wrote this – it was the first book he wrote after kicking them – and maybe the sheer catharsis of it should be seen as enough. Blunt metaphor time, but prior to this King had wanted things to the point of needing them, and they were ruining everything, hurting those he loved.Jun 17, 2014
Should I read Needful Things?
