I read Stephen King’s The Tommyknockers when I was in college. Actually, I should say I read most of it. It made me so paranoid that I was becoming agoraphobic, and I had to stop reading it.

I was reading Desperation in my room at night when I was a teenager and it actually jump scared me. Like, I almost screamed. King is the King for a reason.

Desperation is terrifying! I had a hard time getting through that one. Scary and all together just really fucked up. I have yet to read its sister novel The Regulators (published under King's alias Richard Bachman.

Me neither. I started it right after I read Desperation, but picked something else up instead. I'm a slow reader, and I pick my fiction pretty carefully these days.
