In reviewing Desperation, you must also review The Regulators. Both books by Stephen King, the brilliant horror novelist.
I WILL NOT REVEAL THE PLOTS!!
The first written, Desperation, sets the scene in Desperation, Nevada(U.S.) It is a supernatural horror story entwining the lives of multicharacters. It is a story of repugnance vs. godliness, doing battle against each other. As the book states, ’’There is a place along Interstate 50 that some call the loneliest place on Earth. It’s not a nice place to live, and it’s an even worse place to die’’
When the horror ends in Desperation, Nevada it takes a turn towards, Wentworth, Ohio(U.S.) and lands directly on Poplar Street. Where the story continues to torture our new cast of unknowing characters.....Until the Regulators arrive, and assume the task of getting everything under control, the mayham, the murder, the torture, the horror .....or so you are led to believe.
These two books, (1 written by Stephen King, the other by his alter ego, Richard Bachman) are the reason each and every one of his books surpass the next in exuberant entertainment.
.....By the way, according to Stephen King, his alter ego, Richard Bachman, has sadly died from cancer and will not be writing anymore.....
If you are looking for a masterpiece of horror, read both books, Desperation and The regulators.
