Series
Desperation/Regulators
Stephen King · 2 novels · 1996
Stephen King published Desperation and The Regulators simultaneously in 1996, the first under his own name and the second under his Richard Bachman pseudonym. The two novels are mirror-universe companions: largely the same cast of characters appears in both, recast into different roles and circumstances, with each book's story driven by the same malevolent supernatural entity, Tak.
