“Hannibal” x "TMNT Shredder’s Revenge* Mads Mikkelson’s Hannibal has some killer (literally) hand to hand, but he doesn’t want any of the smoke from my turtle bros

The amount of money I wasted using printer ink for “educational jpgs” when I had the house to myself… I’m so sorry, my parents (90’s dinosaur)

Wasn’t he the villain in “Desperation” too? From what I vaguely remember, more pronounced in my mind with the body-horror possession shit. Tak is probably meant to be some kinda Pennywise/Flagg offshoot (lost idea) or something

Yeah, “Regulators” is an odd ass example. The other book that King released at the same time under his actual name (“Desperation”) was way more memorable drawing from my adolescent mind. Having read both at the time of around their respective release, I don’t remember much about Regulators other than it takes place in a suburb and Desperation is so vastly superior a read/100 and it’s not even close. So yeah, deep dive from OP I guess

Adding to that; doesn’t “Children…” take place in like Iowa or something? I can’t think of a King book that takes place specifically in Ohio, but I also haven’t really read his stuff the past decade
