Tak! In September of 1996, Stephen King published two novels on the same day.

This week, I examine Stephen King's most underrated novel, The Regulators. Published on the same day as Desperation, this entry, under the pen name Richard Bachman, is one of King's most high concept novels. Perfectly skewering suburban life as well as offering up commentary on living with a difficult child, The Regulators is an action sci-fi with satirical horror elements that combine to make this novel an incredibly imaginative journey.

With Insomnia, King introduces us to the big bad of his multiverse, The Crimson King. He's a character whose legend will cast many of Stephen King's future works in a scarlet shadow.

It's one of my favs! But does it have a good ending? Find out this week!

This is a big one, guys! Insomnia was the first novel that Stephen King had published after I had become a Stephen King fan. Nightmares and Dreamscapes might have been the first short story collection, but this is the first, full-blown novel that I had to look forward to, and I honestly think that Stephen King wrote it specifically for me. Why? 1) It takes place in Derry, the city of his 1986 masterpiece, IT. 2) It's a wild, comic-booky concept involving colorful auras, super powers, and higher levels of existence. 3) It introduces 2 classic Stephen King villains, the rusty blade wielding Atropos and his master, the grand daddy of all Stephen King baddies, the Crimson King, which brings me to . . . 4) He fleshes out the mythology of The Dark Tower series in ways that he hadn't done so in the actual Dark Tower books. Some people hate this novel, and this episode is designed to convince them that they should give Insomnia another chance!

In this week's review, I look at a little known Stephen King adaptation of a short story from his Nightmares and Dreamscapes publication, the Miguel Ferrer-starring vehicle: The Night Flier.
