The Dead Zone was the strangest experience of my rereading experiment thus far.

Maybe because, structurally, it’s easily the strangest book King had, up until this point, attempted to compose; as well as perhaps because, unlike various other King (not Bachman) novels of the time, it does not actually have a crook to concentrate on as well as drive the narrative. Not that it’s any type of the worse for that, mind you …
