Released with Desperation. If it was released by itself, I might have enjoyed it more. Desperation was such a great book that it overshadowed The Regulators. That's too bad. ( )

This is a companion book of sorts to Desperation. While both books feature the same characters and similar themes and plot points, they diverge wildly. This is the better of the two books, much more chilling and, in many ways, believable than Desperation. The whole idea of the normal suburban street that is attacked brutally and without warning, and then slowly isolated, really terrified me, so much that this book kept me up nights. ( )

Wierd - but listenable

This book is going back on my re-read list. I read it back to back with "Desperation" and for the life of me can't remember an inkling of that story. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0525941908, Hardcover)

Richard Bachman is really Stephen King, and The Regulators is a kind of companion novel to Desperation, which was published simultaneously. These books mark the return of the Stephen King of old; the Stephen King of The Stand and Pet Sematary, where good and evil were at war and blood and gore flowed through the pages. The companion novels center around a new personification of evil that goes by the name of Tak, unearthed by an evil mining company that's destroying the earth in the name of profit. In each, the characters and situations are altered as King plays with questions of identity and form. But the real point here is what's on Tak's mind? Does it want to "Eat pork rinds? . . . Screw some NFL cheerleaders? . . . Rule the earth?"
