“A big, serious, scary novel. . . . King is at the top of his game.”
—Entertainment Weekly
There’s a place along Interstate 50 that some call the loneliest place on Earth. It’s known as Desperation, Nevada.
It’s not a very nice place to live. It’s an even worse place to die.
Let the battle against evil begin.
“Surreal, tragic, scary … builds to an epic climax. Terror that resonates long after the book is finished.”
—The Washington Post Book World
Incredible Praise for Desperation and The Regulators
“King has created two of his most substantial characters. Desperation and The Regulators mark a return for Stephen King to his old stomping grounds: supernatural horror and multicharacter plots that entertain with a vengeance. Both of these novels, which provide entertainment with a moral, are sure to keep you turning pages well past midnight.”
“A fascinating exercise in storytelling, one that makes us rethink the very idea of narrative…. In the interplay between these novels, King reveals his process in a startling, intimate way, inviting us to consider a range of possibilities and giving us unprecedented access to the play of his mind.”
“Our best novelist of horror and our most serious anatomist of horror since Edgar Allan Poe. A tour de force…. King is having great fun … vastly entertaining. He is a quintessentially American writer.”
