Dreamcatcher by Stephen King
4.0
Mt first King for a long while. Had this for a decade in both hardback and paperback but somehow never picked it up off the shelf.
Wish I had sooner to be honest. It is classic King in that it combines elements of supernatural along with some biting horror and a hefty amount of examining human behaviour.
Like It the tale follows a group of friends switching between current and past events to excellent effect (and not confusing, as can sometimes be the case with King).
The characterizations are superb and, as ever, you are truly drawn into their lives. The afterword reveals King wrote this by hand in fountain pen while recuperating after his car accident. Looking back through the book you can see several moments that are directly influenced by his real-world situation.
Well worth reading.
