Sounds about right.
I finished his exellent book "On Writing" the other day and then got carried away on Amazon. Hence I have his new book.

Don't get me wrong,
I do love Stephen King. But his recent books are beginning to make me think he's peaked.

I liked Lisey's story

I liked "Cell", which gets pretty mixed reviews.
I loved the idea of a pulse going out that sent anyone on a mobile mad

does sound good
I've not read anything of his since his last book of short stories gave me really weird dreams.

I envy your ability to read books and then get weird dreams.
Didn't "Gateway" give you weird dreams? I read the book because of that and what happened to my dreams?...Nothing.

yeah, gateway gave me particularly weird ones
my dreams tend towards the odd anyway, and just occasionally something I've read will spark off some extra weird dreams. It's quite enjoyable. I don't tend to be scared by them, despite most of them having a scary premise, but often find that I'm left feeling thoughtful or some random emotion for most of the next day.

I only tend to remember dreams where i'm being chased by zombies
which seems to happen more times than is safe for ones mental health

Cell was awesome
and typical King kind of creepy.

I agree
but if you look it up on Amazon, it's one of his least liked books.
