All of the Bachman books seem to be inspired by a weird rage so this was a fitting place to start. The book is drenched in te contempt of the school shooter protagonist and you can see why King decided not to have the book reprinted. The sympathy he has for his antihero is difficult to digest. This guy is no Holden Caufield. There’s a misogyny and a racism here too as King exorcises his resentments but there’s also a lack of cohesion. A scatter gun approach. Ultimately high school was dissected much more effectively in Carrie.
