26. Desperation by Stephen King
Sun Feb 25, 2024, 06:51 PM
Feb 2024

I’ve been listening to a podcast series called Kingslingers where two guys, one who has read the Dark Tower series and one who is reading it for the first time, discuss the books. The word “can-tah” came up and it made me think of Desperation. I kept thinking about it so finally went digging through the boxes in the attic and found it. A big ol’ hardback copy so, for the next week, I’ll be able to brain any prowlers who might break into the house. It’s a good one, glad I picked it up. Saw my copy of The Regulators in the box, too, so will probably hit that next.
