Description: 545 pages. dj wornA notice to those who feel that Stephen Kin g has lost his magic touch: Desperation is the genuine goods. The ensemble cast of ordinary Americans thrown together by chance, i ncluding a disgruntled alcoholic writer and a child who is wise b eyond his years, may be a bit too familiar. But the nearly desert ed Nevada mining town with an enormous haunted mine pit and an ab andoned movie theatre where the survivors hang out makes for a st riking battleground, and the grisly action rarely flags. Best of all, though, are the characters of Tak, the ancient body-hopping evil who emerges from the mine, and of God--whom the New York Tim es describes as the edgiest creation in Desperation. Remote, isol ated, ironic, shrouded behind disguises, perhaps 'another legenda ry shadow,' this deity forms a sly foil, and an icy mirror, to Ta k.

Description: © 1996: A stand-alone novel by Stephen King. 1st printing of 1996 edition:- Synopsis: Welcome to Desperation. A place beyond your wildest imaginings. Where the unbelievable can become reality. Desperation: a small town in the middle of the Nevada desert. It looks hauntingly familiar with its signs to the Desperation Coffee Shop and Video Spot. Just off the loneliest highway in America, it should be a refuge in a wasteland. But there's something missing. The once thriving copper mining town now seems eerily empty. Almost abandoned. Except for a few desert animals - snake, coyote, buzzard. And of coursethe local cop patrolling the wilderness road - Desperation's unique regulator. Headed down Highway 50 are travellers who are never going to reach their destinations. Like the Jacksons, a young professor and his wife going home to New York City; the Carvers, a Wentworth, Ohio family bound for a vacation in Lake Tahoe; and Johnny Marinville, the once famous writer who's getting back on the road with a new book, 'Travels With Harley'. The secrets embedded in Desperation's landscape are as awesome as the forces summoned to encounter them. When they are unleashed, a terrifying transformation takes place and the wayfarers will begin to discover the true meaning of the word desperation:- Review(s): "In the tradition of 'The Stand', 'Desperation' is an apocalyptic drama of God and evil, madness and revelation in which the master of horror and suspense tempts you into his literary lion's den. And holds you willingly behind bars. Welcome. Enter if you dare":- (original cost unmarked).

Very Good - Inscription Please see photos as part of condition report 1996 1st Edition , DJ DESPERATION By Stephen King Illustrated By: N/A Format: Hardcover, Language: English Dust Jacket: Yes, Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Published By: Hodder & Stoughton, octavo (8vo 6 × 9 152 × 229),Pages 545 ISBN: 9780340654279 Desperation is a horror novel by American writer Stephen King. It was published in 1996 at the same time as its "mirror" novel, The Regulators, itself published under King's Richard Bachman pseudonym. It was also made into a TV film starring Ron Perlman, Tom Skerritt and Steven Weber in 2006. The two novels represent parallel universes relative to one another, and most of the characters present in one novel's world also exist in the other novel's reality, albeit in different circumstances. Desperation is a story about several people who, while traveling along the desolated Highway 50 in Nevada, get abducted by Collie Entragian, the deputy of the fictional mining town of Desperation. Entragian uses various pretexts for the abductions, from an arrest for drug possession to "rescuing" a family from a nonexistent gunman. It becomes clear to the captives that Entragian has been possessed by an evil being named Tak, who has control over the surrounding desert wildlife and must change hosts to keep itself alive. They begin to fight for their freedom, sanity and lives before realizing that if they are ever to escape Desperation, they must trap Tak in the place from which he came.
