Agreed. I've actually been reading this recently- not quite to the end.

Also interesting is that I think King's latest movie, A Good Marriage (2014), may have been loosely based on an idea he submits as a exercise to the reader in On Writing: iirc, King describes a situation which involves a woman estranged from her abusive husband being home alone while the child is at school and the husband unexpected comes into the house.

King asks the reader to write a short story based on this situation and send him and to send him an email with the story and the readers thoughts and how they came to write it.

I've not seen the movie or read Full Dark, No Stars (2010) that contained the novella it is based on, but that situation seemed similar.
