"The Library Policeman" from Four Past Midnight is one of Stephen King's best stories ever. It is not only my favorite novella, but the scariest story I've ever read. If you like a good spook then you should read this. You'll be sleeping with the light on. Please e-mail me for questions or comments
This was the second book I read by Stephen King. It's main character, Sam Peebles, I fell in love with. Why? Because Stephen King has a knack for creating characters people can relate to. This probibly is what reels you in. It makes it easy for you to fit into that person's shoes, and when you do, you're in for a scary read! The Library Policeman was a very good Stephen King novel. It satisfied my hunger for a chilling night time story. I'll never go into another library alone again! =
Not my favorite Stephen King novel(la), but fairly decent just the same. The characters are engaging if a bit chatty. I like it better as an audiobook than as a printed book. I read Four Past Midnight when it was published 24 years ago as of this review and I remember finding the remembrance of the library policeman by the main character a tad too detailed. I felt the same way listening to it. Anyhow, it's a good read/listen/whatever. I recommend it.
I must have read this book a thousand times it's on of SK's best. I love the way he spins his books like a spiders web. You only see loose ends at first and see the web at very the end of the story. This book in particular: you cannot start reading and stop before the story is done. This book was so good that I even took the time to read the original Englisch version.
This novella was somewhat disturbing and weird. A Library Policeman!?! What the heck! When I started the book(novella), I almost laughed my head off. I must admit it was boring till about page 80 or 90. As the story went on though it turned creepier and more disturbing by the page. Once I got to the chapter called Dave's Story I was fully engaged in the story and couldn't quit it. I finished this novella in one day. Ardella or whatever the name is(couldn't remember the name even when I finished), is so creepy when Dave tells his story. King did a great job of connecting us to the character in only 200 pages or so. This is a great imaginative piece of work by Stephen King and he scores a grand slam again!
It's a great story but the cheesy horror music makes it unlistenable. I was embarrassed to be listening to it even though I was alone in the woods with headphones. The music is very bad, I recommend reading the book version.
