The narration of this audiobook was top tier. TOP TIER. I will listen to anything John Slattery performs, I am now a mega fan. He truly brought the characters to life, especially Wireman. I love Stephen King, I've probably read 40 to 50% of everything he's ever written. This one however is not one of my top reads. Don't get me wrong, i loved the characters, I loved the writing, I just had a hard time with the plot. A man gets crushed nearly to death, loses his arm, his wife, and the life he had worked so hard to build. He decides to try for a new life and moves to Duma Key and starts painting for fun. Well, the paintings are more than just good; they are GREAT. But there is something sinister about the paintings. Sometimes he feels an itch to paint and he doesn't know what's overcoming him. It's up to his new found friends Wireman and Jack Cantore to dig a little deeper and find the horror lurking beneath the paintbrush. The horror in this book does not start until you are over 70% of the way in. And even then, this horror didn't really grab me. A good King book, but not my favorite.
