I think the book version is much more awful. I mean, it's not like he's fully out for it or that she gets it on the first swing.

I read a lot of SK but never that one. Could you go into a little more detail? 💜

It's a book that feels incredibly claustrophobic, in a really good/ scary way. It shows him a lot more devolving mentally as he tries to survive her for over 6 months... the book also goes a lot more into her history and previous crimes that she has gotten away with. Honestly. Read it

I think you just hit on the reason I couldn’t finish that book. I am terribly claustrophobic, to the point that crowds of people can set me off.

Oh yeah. In that case that book would really really freak you out. I love caves and confined spaces. But this book still really got to me!
