Before Desperation #StephenKingRevisited

by Jay Wilburn

The plan is to reread all of Stephen King’s works in the order that they were published. Richard Chizmar of Cemetery Dance had the vision. I’m doing it because I am a writer and I want to improve my fiction. And I love Stephen King’s stories. I think there is something to be learned through this process.

You can also go back to the beginning and read Before Carrie or any of my other posts up through this one and beyond by checking out this link to the Master List of all my #StephenKingRevisited posts.

I have not yet read Desperation. That should make this before post easier.

I did read The Regulators. That is the partner book to this one in the same way that Gerald’s Game and Dolores Claiborne were tangentially connected along the thinnest of psychic threads.

The Regulators is spotty in my memory. I checked it out from the library and didn’t finish it the first time through. I had to check it out more than once to finish it and in the end I was racing through it faster than my comfortable reading pace at the time just to finish. After that, I never got around to picking up Desperation.

It’s exciting for me to get to a book I haven’t read before as I go through this process. I’m really looking forward to this one and to rereading The Regulators right after it.

My next post in this series will be After The Green Mile which will be linked on the Master List of all my Stephen King Revisited posts.
