Following a bitter separation from his wife, famed mystery writer Mort Rainey is unexpectedly confronted at his remote lake house by a dangerous stranger named John Shooter. Claiming Mort has plagiarized his short story, the psychotic Shooter demands justice. When Shooter's demands turn to threats, and then to murder, Mort turns to a private detective he knows. But when nothing stops the horror from spiraling out of control, Mort soon discovers he can't trust anyone or anything.

The second novella in King‘s Four Past Midnight collection, another story by King about a writer going mad. It started off very promising, dragged a little in the middle, and ended with a bang. I liked it! And I liked the MC Mort Rainey. There was a very specific place in the story, after something unexpected happened, that I sat up straight and thought “This is getting good!” King writes the descension into madness so well! #readingStephenKing

“Pissing and thinking have a lot in common, he thought. You can put them both off.. But not forever.”

One of Stephen's best twist endings. King is known for questionable endings but this is one of my favorites. He loves to write about writers. Mort Rainey was a very relatable character if you've ever gone through a rough separation. Being in the mind or Mort was a fun ride. Is he an unreliable narrator? I'll let you find that out on your own.

Thank you for the tag @Mishu94
1- Secret Window, Secret Garden - Novelist guilt drives him insane.
2- Books, especially audio books. I can't imagine a day without reading.
3- Some time in Victorian England would be interesting.

You gotta hand it to SK, he definitely knows how to write about writers who lose their minds! #WhereIsMyMind
I tagged my favorite short story instead of the book pictured because the story is in the book! 😁

#stephenking17 #favoriteadaption There aren't a lot of the movies that I've liked more than the books but
really liked this book and movie. I maybe even liked the movie better.
