A dark comedic joy
Unlike some of King's pieces,there is a touch of comedy and sexiness about Needful Things. From the moment the town's numerous foibles,feuds and vulnerabilities are woven,its is and was intriguing.I won't lie, you must have a taste for King's sense of humor and use of human imperfections to understand the zest of the story.The thrills are off set by humor and irony. Sadness and jealousy are spiced with curiousity of what will happen next as well as the thought of what does "The Needful Things store" hold for each of us. I, even like the sexual interplay between characters." I do so like a woman who takes care of herself" is just a snippet of what the villian regales us with before exacting his payment for services.I thoroughly enjoy this offering every time I view it.Hopefully others have and will, too.
