Features: A mystery novel praised by horror master Stephen King. This book is endorsed by Stephen King with a special introduction: "I love opening lines. I collect book opening lines like others collect stamps or coins, and the opening line of this book is truly a champion. 'Death is my domain,' the protagonist Jack McAfee opens with, and we are hooked, diving headfirst into the world of the book. This line isn't just clever; it perfectly sets the tone of the book: dark, contemplative, and utterly terrifying. () About this novel, the first thing you need to know is that it's a brilliant and solid story. If you enjoy mystery novels, this book will definitely bring you an ultimate reading experience. () The second thing you need to know about this Poet is that its horror is incredibly real () I don't often use the word 'classic,' but I believe Poet could prove to be a classic mystery novel. Sometimes, novelists convey beautiful messages to us through subtext: 'I have the ability to do more than I imagine.' Poet is just such a novel, with a long plot, rich content, and multiple layers that satisfy. I hope all readers can enjoy the joy of uncovering the mystery behind 'Death is my domain.'"
