Episode Seventy Four-Desperation
Tak! In September of 1996, Stephen King published two novels on the same day. One was published under the pen name Richard Bachman I'm a wolf and the other, under his own publishing name, is the terrifying novel about faith v. despair in a small desert town: Desperation. How does it fare? Find out here at the Stephen Kingcast! Mi him en tow!

Episode Seventy Three-The Regulators
This week, I examine Stephen King's most underrated novel, The Regulators. Published on the same day as Desperation, this entry, under the pen name Richard Bachman, is one of King's most out-there and high concept novels. Perfectly skewering suburban life as well as offering up commentary on living with a difficult child, The Regulators is an action sci-fi with satirical horror elements that combine to make this novel an incredibly imaginative journey.

Bonus Episode-In the Court of the Crimson King
With Insomnia, King introduces us to the big bad of his multiverse, The Crimson King. He's a character whose legend will cast many of Stephen King's future works in a scarlet shadow. This bonus episode analyzes the character as he's presented here in contrast to when we see him in the Dark Tower series. Also in this episode, I place the Insomnia itself into context of the greater Dark Tower series as well as Patrick Danville. So if you've completed your journey to the Tower, feel free to enter the Court of the Crimson King!
