"Chapter three of Male monarch's epic alternate-globe saga (1988, 1989) finds Roland the Gunslinger and his sidekicks standing their quest for the Nighttime Tower--and the Maine chief keyboarding some of his least restrained writing in years, great sagging storm clouds of padded prose that simply occasionally thunder or burnish with lightning inspiration. The storyline by now is and then complex that King opens with a four-page "Argument" summing up past action and tracing ties between major characters. The Argument for volume four won't exist much longer, since relatively little happens here: Roland trains Eddie Dean and Susannah Walker, previously brought by him from Manhattan to his blighted world, in the arts of gunslinging--before long used to slay a giant mechanical behave named Shardik; Jake, the boy whom Roland allow die in book one, reappears as a Gotham schoolkid who makes his fashion through a haunted business firm into Roland's world; the ring of four encounter a boondocks of old folks, and so a wasted city where Jake is kidnapped by degenerates, so rescued; Roland and visitor take a ride toward the Nighttime Tower on a train operated past an insane computer enamored of riddles. In a note, Male monarch admits that "finding the doors to Roland's earth has never been like shooting fish in a barrel for me." The strain is evident, with the volume seemingly jerry-built on borrowings (the hoary haunted house; the mad computer, echoing Hal of 2001; the wasted city and its criminal denizens, shades of Escape from New York) and overblown character conflicts (can Eddie summon the courage to cross the swaying span?). Still, some of the action cooks up shivery suspense, and Roland's anticipated duel of riddles with the homicidal reckoner promises a swift start to the next book. ." --- Kirkus Review.

"If the publishing industry named a Person of the Year, this twelvemonth'southward winner would be Stephen Rex. Not only is he writing the first modern novel to be serialized in book course (The Green Mile), but with the publication on Sept. 24 of The Regulators (Dutton; Forecasts, June 17) and Agony, he becomes the first bestselling author--peradventure the commencement author ever--to upshot three new major novels in one agenda year. And in that location's more than. With this amazing work, King again proves himself the premier literary barometer of our cultural clime. For if The Regulators is a work of secular horror, this is a novel of sacred horror (Male monarch'south start), and explicitly so. Like the 2d panel of a diptych, Desperation employs, with one major exception, the same characters as The Regulators, and the same source of horror: an evil strength named Tak. (The novels aren't sequential, yet; people who dice in one can live, so die, in the other.) The exception is David Carver, 11, who, with a handful of other passers-through, including a major writer who'due south recently embraced sobriety, is trapped in the desert mining town of Agony, Nev. There, Tak stalks them by possessing humans and turning them into homicidal maniacs, and by unleashing armies of coyotes, spiders and scorpions. The terror is relentless--this is King's scariest volume since Misery--though the storytelling is looser than in The Regulators to allow room for spiritual themes. For united confronting Tak are not simply David and his pals, but also God, who moves through the male child. King'south God is the God of Chore, implacable, beyond human ken. As the savageries inflicted upon David and others multiply, they must discern: What is God'due south will? And, how can God'south volition be done, when information technology seems so brutal? Nigh the story's end, the writer muses that horror "isn't the sort of stuff of which serious literature is made." King knows improve, so volition anyone who reads this deeply moving and enthralling masterpiece of the genre." --- Publisher'due south Weekly.

"This is not the first fourth dimension that Stephen King has written a nighttime apologue of the fiction writer'south state of affairs. ''Misery'' (1987) is a parable in chiller form of the popular author's relation to his audience, which holds him prisoner and dictates what he writes, on pain of expiry. Mr. King'southward new novel, ''The Dark Half,'' is a parable in chiller grade of the popular writer's relation to his creative genius, the vampire within him, the function of him that only awakes to heighten Cain when he writes, the fratricidal twin who occupies ''the womblike dungeon'' of his imagination.Thaddeus Beaumont is the writer in question. At historic period eleven he writes his commencement story. Around the same time he begins to get excruciating headaches, which culminate in a convulsion. Surgery reveals something startling - first an center, so other small fragments of an incompletely absorbed twin that'southward lodged in his brain. This sort of ''in utero cannibalism,'' according to his doctor, is not unusual, although rarely is anything left undigested, as it is in Thad Beaumont'south instance.The operation is a success, and Thad grows up to be a mild-mannered professor of creative writing, a doting husband and the male parent of twins, a modestly successful writer of novels with titles like ''Purple Haze.'' But under the pen proper noun of George Stark he is the best-selling author of ferocious thrillers similar ''Sharkmeat Pie,'' the protagonist of which is named Alexis Machine because he kills like one.Circumstances force Thad to own up to his pseudonym, which in any case has become irksome. He has decided to go it on his own, to lay his fictional self to rest. He and his wife even hold a mock burying service for George Stark, papier-mache tombstone and all. But one morn a homo-sized cavity is discovered at the site. Footprints lead away. Very soon, people begin to die horribly, in detail everybody associated with Thad'south decision to bury George Stark, whose prose mode governs the graphic and gruesome descriptions of the murders. For George Stark has materialized. Equally Stark himself puts it, ''The discussion became flesh, you might say.''Merely George Stark is not content to be merely undead. He wants to exist alive entirely. He wants Thad to brainstorm some other novel under Stark'southward name. In fact, he wants to collaborate with Thad, to larn how to write, to get independent. Unless Thad complies, Stark will truly fade out of existence, for his mankind has begun to rot, decay, stink and ooze fluids, although no exterior forcefulness seems capable of destroying him. Thad is forced to comply, for Stark has taken his wife and children hostage. As the collaboration gets going, Stark begins to heal; Thad develops running sores.On the whole, Mr. King is tactful in teasing out the implications of his parable - never heed an author's annotation that acknowledges a debt to ''the late Richard Bachman,'' Mr. King's own pseudonym, without whom ''this novel could not take been written.'' No character in the novel comes right out and says, for example, that writers exist (at to the lowest degree to readers) but in their writing, that each person (at least to himself) is his own fiction, that the author's imagination tin can feel alien to him, a possessing and possessive demon, a Dracula arisen to prey on the whole man and his family. Nor does anyone in the novel say outright that reality inevitably leaks fiction, which then floods reality, that reality and fiction feed on and feed each other, that they are at war yet they are twins - so identical that attempts to say which is which but lead to more fictions. Such things are better left unsaid, anyway. Stephen King is non a post-modernist.He is, however, a very good storyteller. ''The Dark One-half'' more often than not succeeds, as both parable and chiller, in spite of occasional cliches of thought and expression and bits of sophomoric sense of humour (the F.B.I. is ''the Effa Bee Eye,'' marijuana is ''wacky tobaccy''). At the end, the decent family unit man wins out, but at a cost - which is how it should be. Most readers, I believe, will want decency and reality to triumph, only only with some reluctance, only later on their most monstrous imaginings, like George Stark, have been unearthed and indulged. And few writers effectually are meliorate than Stephen King at giving readers what they want." NY Times.
