The Regulators
By: Richard Bachman - AKA Stephen King Copyright 1996 489 pages
This devilishly entertaining yarn of occult mayhem married to mordant social commentary is pure King and resembles little the four nonsupernatural (if science-fictional) pre-Thinner Bachmans. The theme is the horror of TV, played out through the terrors visited upon quiet Poplar Street in the postcard-perfect suburban town of Wentworth, Ohio, when a discorporeal psychic vampire settles inside an autistic boy obsessed with TV westerns and kiddie action shows and brings screen images to demented, lethal life. The long opening scene, in which characters and vehicles from the TV show Motokops 2200 (think Power Rangers) sweep down the street, spewing death by firearm, is a paragon of action-horror. The story rarely flags after that, evoking powerful tension and, at times, emotion. But King makes hay in this story in which anything can happen, and does, including the warping of space-time and the savage deaths of much of his large cast. Main selection of the Literary Guild, Doubleday Book Club, Mystery Guild and Science Fiction Book Club.
