It's in my TBR pile. It looks pretty daunting. I am tempted to see the TV series instead, in all honesty.

Simmons is maybe the most idiosyncratic writer I read. He jumps genres so is hard to pin down, and can get wordy at times. He does not go for jolts, but mood. So if he is writing about winter, you can feel the cold creeping all over you. When he has a central protagonist, he will suddenly focus on a side character who does not seem to add anything to the action, but adds to the overall sense of dread. Simmons is gifted, for sure.

Will I read it? If Simmons were setting the scene, I would hear a noise, investigate, and find nothing, and forget about it. Then, days later, while cleaning up, I'd see The Terror had fallen from its bookcase perch, and realize that was the noise. Then I'd pick it up and suddenly start reading it.
