The way Hickey is found over Farr and the song that "plays" when he stabs Irving is unsettling as fuck. Also much more disturbing in the book, because when Irving finds him, he's naked, and Irving sees him "dancing". Irving thinks he succumbed to madness, however when Irving gets close enough for Hickey to deliver his killing blows, it's reveled that much like in the show, he's just trying to keep himself warm so no blood gets on him. During this he's described as kind of evil goblin creature.
