Well, I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts too - but my Stephen King collection is NOT paperback, because I reread them often enough to wear them out. I didn't buy Green Mile till it came out in hardback, and won't buy this one in paperback either. I have his books (nearly his entire output of novels, novellas and short stories) in hardback, plus ebooks where possible or necessary (couldn't even read my copy of Under the Dome, it was too heavy - had to wait till I could get the ebook too) and audiobooks as often as I can. So I guess I won't get this one as soon as it comes out. Sigh.
