This is the synopsis from Fantastic Fiction:

Dick Morrison's life has become a nightmare of addictions, filling his days with overeating, overworking, and smoking way too much. When an old friend tells him about a surefire way to quit, he's more than willing to give it a shot. But what Dick doesn?t know is that Quitters, Inc. demands a high price from anyone who strays from their rigid rules?like a few volts of electricity for the nearest and dearest...or maybe a missing thumb? Forced to choose between his desperate need for cigarettes and the dire consequences of giving in to his addiction, Dick must decide just how important another drag really is.

My thoughts...

I listened to the audio and, although it is a short book, it really hits you hard and sticks with you long after the audio is finished. Stephen King always has that way about him where he makes the reader feel the horror that the characters are actually going through. It reminded me why I always enjoyed King's work so much. It's been awhile since I read his books but this one brings it all back to me and I want more!

The Stephen King Challenge

I was so done with joining reading challenges, but then Michelle at The True Book Addict had to go ahead and start one that I was looking for a couple of months ago and couldn't find.

I used to love Stephen King's books but over the years I kind of got away from them. Recently I saw the TV movie Bag of Bones and my interest was back. The good thing about this challenge is that it's a perpetual challenge and I can take as long as I like to read them. Sounds good to me :)

I will list the books as I read them here...
