Stephen King's Pet Sematary

I am enjoying the book by Stephen King. If by some chance Mr. King is reading this--it's not an insult to your talent. I guess I'm not like most, it's kind of fun for me to find bits and pieces that aren't quite right. For instance:

Excerpt:

Crandell's cigarette glowed like a large, peaceable firefly in the summer darkness.


Now I'm all for simile's, but is it just me or is this silly? The man's smoking a freaking ciggy for christ sake. By the way I have never seen a peaceable firefly---have you? (I'm usually busy squishing them, so they fly around frantically. . . .LOL. . . .::rolls eyes:: just kidding) ;)
