Up
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?"
