The Regulators by Stephen King

★★★☆☆ | Horror | Print / Digital | Own | StoryGraph | Goodreads

Continuing my quest to read every Stephen King novel … The Regulators was published on the same day as Desperation. Many of the same characters bedeviled by the same evil spirit Tak, but set in a parallel universe. The book covers of the two novels make up a single scene:

While there may be a heaven in this Regulators universe, God doesn’t seem interested in helping out the poor denizens of Poplar Street like he did in Desperation. For novels written together, it’s an odd thing to include/exclude.
