That's nearly 8 years after I gave up. "Needful Things" was OK, but it was still his same damn story with a little bit of bizarre sex and murder all mixed together without much of a plot. Wow, a rewrite of "The Monkey's Paw." I dunno. I wouldn't pay for another book of his. If bored, I might read one, but I'm certainly no longer an avid reader.
