It’s a rarity that one picks up a Stephen King novel, finishes it, and puts it down without feeling chilled to the bone. With no exception to the rule, “N”, leaves readers paranoid after the last page.

Based on King’s short story Just After Sunset, “N” has become Marvel Comics new project in scaring the shit out of their audience. Marvel picked up the piece of horror work adding their own little touch of Marc Guggenheim and Alex Maleev to make it their own. Artist Alex Maleev known for his work in Daredevil and Halo: Uprising appears a perfect match for a realistic thrill on page. Matched along with Wolverine and Amazing Spiderman writer Marc Guggenheim, this novel is a perfect storm of compulsion and paranoia that keeps readers hooked from page to page.
The story follows a series of strange suicides that feed back to one psychiatrist, John Bonsaint, and his obsessive patient, N. The tale recounts the instance in which the patient, N, obtains his compulsions and overwhelming paranoia… in Ackerman’s Field. In attempts to understand his patient’s complex more thoroughly, Bonsaint travels to Ackerman’s Field to have a look. What he finds infects the rest of the pages with horror that drives readers to turn every page. Obsessive compulsion, suicide, bad numbers, good numbers, creepy stones, what more could you ask for?
After reading this novel for the next few minutes as a reader you are left in a strange continuum of compulsion and counting.
