All Things Serve The Tower | Horror Review

UR by Stephen King seemed rather dry at first, with Wesley coming off as a literary snob with lousy social skills. He discovers the unusual features of his pink Kindle, and yet fails to fully appreciate what he possesses. Luckily, he shares his new device with two others, if only to figure out if he's lost his mind or not.

Once the three begin investigating the UR within the Kindle together, the story becomes quite alarming. The descriptions of the characters' shocked reactions are anxiety-inducing. While I suspected where Wesley would go with his experimenting, the details are the gut-wrenching torments which Stephen King uses to lure readers into the horror genre, enslaving us to our masochistic cravings for more.

If you're already a Stephen King fan, you're going to lose your mind over the ending.

As always,
