Product Information
Stephen King, the world's bestselling author, that you do not want to visit...because it's pure hell to live there! In the desolate mining town of Desperation, Nevada, there is something very wrong. The local lawman is besieged by delusions of murderous grandeur, dead animals decorate the landscape, and visitors are few and far between. But when an unlucky group of travelers is waylaid in the desert anti-oasis, the battle lines are drawn against an ancient and unholy evil, determined to be born again! Praise for Desperation : [ Desperation is] astonishing...the terror is relentless .-- Publishers Weekly Desperation builds to a climax reminiscent of The Stand . -- Washington Post Book World A double dose of ghostly horror. Desperation is pure King, a rollicking good tale skillfully told of repugnance and godliness doing high-screech battle .-- San Francisco ChronicleProduct Identifiers

Desperation is great!
Absolutely lovely artwork on this book which makes a unique picture by the artist Mark Ryden when put together with the book that went with it called The Regulators by Richard Bachman (Stephen King). This is a great read and one that is hard to put down because you just want to find out what happens next at every page turn. Highly recommend for anyone, even if they haven't read any King books. Both books mentioned are 1st Edition US not UK, they are different from the UK versions with much better cover jacked illustrations!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
