The iconic, highly-acclaimed bestseller from Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman - now with a stunning new cover look.
Wentworth, Ohio: a small friendly town where the Carver children bicker over sweets in the E-Z shop and writer Johnny Marinville is the only resident who minds his own business.
On Poplar Street, apart from the impending storm, it s just a normal summer s day - with Frisbees flying, lawn mowers humming and barbeques grilling. As the paperboy makes his round, he is unaware of the chrome red van idling up the hill . . .
Soon the residents will be caught up in a game of wills as the regulators arrive in force to face a child whose powers of expression are just awakening.
If you like THE REGULATORS, don t miss DESPERATION, written as an unidentical pair.
About the Author
STEPHEN KING is the author of more than seventy books, all of them worldwide bestsellers, including the epic thrillers The Institute and Desperation. Some of King s recent bestsellers are Fairy Tale, Billy Summers and If It Bleeds.
Many of his titles are the basis for major motion pictures, TV series and streamed events, including IT, Stand By Me (adapted from The Body) and The Shawshank Redemption, which is IMDb s top-rated movie of all time.
King is the recipient of The Sunday Times Award for Literary Excellence 2022, the 2020 Audio Publishers Association Lifetime Achievement Award, the 2018 PEN America Literary Service Award, the 2014 National Medal of Arts, and the 2003 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He lives in Maine, with his wife, novelist Tabitha King.
In his lifetime , Richard Bachman published five novels. A sixth, THE REGULATORS, was published after he died of pseudonym cancer (a relatively painless way to go) in 1985. He developed a cult following both before and after his death. Two of his novels (THINNER and THE RUNNING MAN) were made into motion pictures.
BLAZE--both brutal and sensitive--is his final legacy. The last of the Bachman novels, written in 1973 and published for the first time. Stephen King s dark half may have saved the best for last.
