Stephen King has made a career out of scaring audiences with tales so disturbing that they can keep you up at night. But what about the author himself? "Insomnia" is a story that was written during the author's own insomnia and feels just as neurotic as someone suffering through long and confusing nights. The story in a lot of ways captures odd obsessions with Greek mythology as well as King's own The Dark Tower series, of which this book overlaps with significantly in the final stretch. It's a book for loyal readers who spend countless hours toiling over consistency and details. However, it's a tough read for those not ready for long and winding stories with confusing tangents and a world that reflects the author taking big risks in his prose and producing one of his oddest books yet.
