It’s a weird one with kinda a stupid plot, but that’s kinda where Stephen King shines somehow. It’s from a collection of 4 novella called “4 past midnight”.

It also includes The Sun Dog, which has possibly the dumbest plot of any horror story ever, but I still somehow enjoy. It’s about a haunted Polaroid camera that no matter how it’s used shows a picture of a mean-looking dog that begins to turn towards the camera with each new frame taken.

I don’t know how King does it. His characters tend to be shallow and his plots idiotic, but they’re great reads.
