The Regulators

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Frank Muller

Master storyteller Stephen King presents the classic, terrifying New York Times bestseller about those caught between the surreal forces of good versus evil in a Midwestern horror setting—a suburban nightmare story in the fictional town of Wentworth, Ohio.

The red van rolls past…humming and glinting.…Things are happening fast now, although no one on Poplar Street realizes it yet.

It’s a gorgeous midsummer afternoon along Poplar Street in the peaceful suburbia of Wentwort, Ohio, where life is as pleasant as you ever dreamed it could be. But that’s all about to end in blaze of gunfire and sudden violence, forever shattering the tranquility and the good times.

The physical makeup of Poplar Street itself is being transformed into a surreal landscape straight out of the active imagination of the innocent and vulnerable Seth Garin—an autistic boy who’s been exposed to and possessed by a horrific, otherworldly force of evil, one with sadistic and murderous intent and who is willing to use whatever means necessary to grow ever stronger.

Endure it

The beginning of the story is very slooooow and.. some may not be ready for a story that begins so sporadically

another great story!

I listened to desperation the "mirror" story of this one, then I followed it up with this story! I was immediately drawn back in!

What did you love best about The Regulators?

I loved the way the author sequenced the story. It wasn't beginning to end, it was like you were finding pieces of the story and putting it together.

Who was your favorite character and why?

No one.

Which scene was your favorite?

I don't have one.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I wouldn't

Any additional comments?

The book is very dark and sexual at some points. It has left me feeling a little shaken, sometimes horrified which I think denotes King as a very good writer. I would recommend reading this book in text because listening to it can be a little confusing as there are so many characters. King does a great job describing the characters and what it occurring with immense detail.

Great

Stephen King great as always. Frank Muller was the voice of my childhood. RIP Frank.

Not my favorite

I've "read" quite a few SK books and loved most of them. This was not one. The story was OK but the narrator is terrible. His sing song voice was extremely annoying. I would not buy another book read by him. The story itself is engaging but extremely fantastical. Leaves many unanswered questions.
