Find yourself a copy of London’s The Scarlet Plague, written in 1912. More of a novelette, but good stuff. Need to re-read it myself, come to think of it.
What fresh Hell is this?

I read it as a teenager in the 70's, would be interesting to revisit.

The book was way scarier than the movie.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.

Steven King always struck me as some sort of a closet pedophile - the main targets of his characters aggression, or the evil characters that developed (Pet Cemetery) were children. Never could stomach that. Just my HO.

I'm not even close to finishing listening to it all the way through again. I started a thread "So I bought a shortwave radio" where I just now posted a link to radio programing that is in the same level of strange as The Stand is.... https://www.coasttocoastam.com/So if you start going through strange/weird content withdrawal.... you are welcome
Please don't feed the trolls!

Me and Art Bell spent many a night together when I was making long after hours commutes in the 90's.
