  • The Deep Well: Slow-Burn Horror with Early Stephen King Energy
    Jan 1 2026

    Today I’m reviewing The Deep Well—a horror novel that feels like something Stephen King might’ve written early in his career: moody, character-focused, and more interested in unease than cheap scares.


    The story takes its time getting started, but the slow burn pays off with solid character development and an atmosphere that steadily tightens as the mystery deepens. There’s also a small but meaningful romantic thread woven through the narrative—never overpowering the horror, but worth mentioning for how it adds emotional weight.


    If you enjoy nostalgic-feeling horror, coming-of-age dread, and stories that prioritize characters over constant action, The Deep Well is a thoughtful, eerie read worth checking out.
