The plan is to reread all of Stephen King’s works in the order that they were published. Richard Chizmar of Cemetery Dance had the vision. I’m doing it because I am a writer and I want to improve my fiction. And I love Stephen King’s stories. I think there is something to be learned through this process.
You can also go back to the beginning and read Before Carrie or any of my other posts up through this one and beyond by checking out this link to the Master List of all my #StephenKingRevisited posts.
I’m surprised Revival didn’t draw more attention than it did at the time it came out. The deals with the Devil and the spiritual turmoil described in the articles about it seem to be a formula for a great book. I suppose it is hard to stand out in the pantheon of Stephen King’s work, but I hope this book lives up to the potential I see in it, a sort of hidden treasure in what I find to be an era of superior writing from him.
My next post in this series will be After Revival which will be linked on the Master List of all my Stephen King Revisited posts.
