![]() ![]() I realized this when the teasers for the television series Castle Rock first came out. Still, I cannot deny that King’s characters and monsters are an indelible part of my memory. Since then, other than Hearts in Atlantis (which did nothing to convince me I should start reading his books again), I haven’t read any of King’s books. ![]() In effect, it made me discount even the books I’d already read and enjoyed. I felt that King was spinning his wheels. Sure, those two novels were meant to be similar - that was part of their marketing, with covers that blended together - but I also felt that the characters blended with so many of King’s other characters, that the monsters felt like King’s other monsters. In 1996 I was coming off the high of his serial novel The Green Mile and rushed out to purchase both Desperation and The Regulators when he published them at the same time in September 1996. A quarter century ago I read pretty much everything Stephen King had written. ![]()
