![]() It might be middle-tier King at best, but it is still damn amusing.Īs it doesn’t make sense to read Desperation without its ‘mirror’ piece The Regulators, that’s where I went next. He puts him a bunch of people in a remote and isolated mining town in Nevada, and from there on, they have to deal the best they can, while the casualties pile up. ![]() It is cruel and bleak and pretty horrible, and I can imagine King having a blast writing about this an aeons old demon (quite literally from The Pit) of unspeakable evil. Sure, later books have a bit of gore, or a supernatural angle, and pretty horrific things do certainly happen, but this seems to be the last one where all of that is so front and center. As I had finished my previous book on the fifteenth occasion of that historic moment, and I still needed to read it in the original English to count towards #66, I decided to pick up that book again.ĭesperation is probably the last gory supernatural horror story Stephen King put out. ![]() First Lines: Desperation / The RegulatorsĪs the story goes, my wife first spotted me reading a book by her favorite author while waiting for a show by her favorite artist. ![]()
