If anyone knows how to judge a worthwhile book when they see it, it's Stephen King.
Like all the greatest writers in the industry, the 78-year-old remains incredibly well-versed with both past and contemporary literature, reading everything from fabled classics to modern best-sellers.
With that being said, King knows perfectly well when he's stumbled across a good book – something that happens to be the case for Mark Z. Danielewski's newest book, Tom's Crossing.
Described as Danielewski's first standalone novel in over 25 years, Tom's Crossing acts as a stylish cross between a drama, Western and a modern ghost story, paving the way to a stunning 1,200 page novel that early critics can't seem to put down.
Among these advance readers, the 78-year-old King has gone out of his way to provide a glowing assessment of Tom's Crossing, calling it "amazing" in an official blurb for the book.
“This is an amazing work of fiction," King said of the new novel. "I absolutely loved it. At the heart you’ll find a blood-drenched story of pursuit and two brave and resourceful children. But there’s so much more."
"I immersed myself," the Carrie author continued. "Have never read anything like it."
Penned by the best-selling Danielewski, Tom's Crossing marks an exciting step forward for the celebrated author of 2000's House of Leaves.
Often touted as one of the best books of the 21st century yet, House of Leaves has been described as a postmodern horror novel, a love story and a metafictional work of art.
In a 2013 New York Times interview, King and his son, best-selling writer Joe Hill, even went so far as to describe House of Leaves as "the Moby-Dick of horror."
Set in 1980s Utah, Tom's Crossing follows a pair of best friends who attempt to save two prized horses from a slaughterhouse.
Spanning over a thousand pages, the hard cover edition of the book arrives in stores on October 28.
