While I may have taken North Carolina away from Nicholas Sparks, I wasn’t really able to do that with Maine and Stephen King. Yes, there are other authors that set a book in Maine, but none as prolifically as Stephen King. (There were 36 books by Mr King on the List) The book is set near Derry, Maine, a fictional town that Stephen King admits is his representation of Bangor, Maine. It’s also the setting for 4 of his other books, including It, which is referenced in Dreamcatcher.
Dreamcatcher is the tale of four childhood friends, now grown, remembering their past while an alien invasion rocks the hunting grounds North of Derry, Maine. I have a feeling that mixing the mundane with the supernatural/science fiction is going to be a recurring theme in the Stephen King books. What’s that? How many Stephen King books have I read? Including this one and the other one I’ve reviewed for this challenge? Four. Carrie and Under the Dome were my introductions to Stephen King.
