A good King, but not his best. Not his worst either. There are a few tropes that have been met before in pop culture such as the mad scientist trope and the whole lightning vibe Frankenstein movies have. As for Steohen King tropes, there are a few that I've seen in some of his previous novels, but not all of them were that bad. We have an old person that falls in love with someone younger, but that's not even the entire plot of the book. For a second I thought this would have been the fourth time when this happened in a King novel i read, but it was fine. The final plot twist was a tad different from what I was expecting, but overall a really solid modern horror read. I could compare it with Frankenstein because duh, lightning and corpses, and with Lovecraft's story, Herbert West reanimator. Again, this one is more of a 3.5 stars too.
