A&E TV aired the two-part miniseries based on Stephen King's novel Bag of Bones last weekend.
I decided to read the book before watching the series and I'm glad I did. This was one of King's novels I had missed when it was first published in 1998. I have never been a faithful King reader although I have enjoyed many of his books (I still feel that 'Salem's Lot is the best vampire story ever written). Bag of Bones is the story of a writer who loses his wife and then moves to their lake house to try and start his life over. The house is haunted with several spirits, some friendly, some not. This book is really a love story and a ghost story. I highly recommend the book to anyone who likes supernatural tales, ghost stories or tales of revenge. This book has it all. As far as the tv miniseries: skip it and read the book.
