Paperback
Published May 1, 1997 by New English Library Ltd.
Located off a desolate stretch of Interstate 50, Desperation, Nevada has few connections with the rest of the world. It is a place, though, where the seams between worlds are thin. Miners at the China Pit have accidentally broken into another dimension and released a horrific creature known as Tak, who takes human form by hijacking some of the town's residents. The forces of good orchestrate a confrontation between this ancient evil and a group of unsuspecting travelers who are lured to the dying town. This rag-tag band of unwilling champions is led by a young boy who speaks to God.

This is actually the second time I've read this, and I liked it a lot more this time. It might be one of those type of books that you kind of have to be more familiar with the writer to quite enjoy.

Amazing book, this was the second King book I read, back in 1998. I "remember" reading a lot of it after coming back from the pub, so it makes a lot more sense now, also being steeped in King lore helps. Collie Entragian is one of the worst villains. The Regulators is next...
