Happy October everyone! And in advance, Happy Halloween! What a great month.. I love this season - the change in weather, the decorations, the colours - it's one of my greatest loves. Most of all, I love that everyone and their pearl-clutching mother knows that this is the month for horror, so here I am with a Back-Jacket Hack-Job of another Stephen King book.
FIRESTARTER... what a classic!
Charlie McGee just won't stop setting fires.
When her parents betray the Government faction - The Shop - that they volunteered for in the first place, things go south and Charlie's mum gets herself killed. Instead of doing the honorable thing, her dad irresponsibly takes off with his daughter, to live on the run forever rather than face the consequences of his selfish actions. The Shop is concerned about Charlie.. and they should be.
She is no ordinary child... she is a child with Hell itself in her eyes! Imagine the average kid having a tantrum... now imagine the tantrum with added flames. Charlie doesn't get her way? FIRE! Charlie can't have that snack before dinner? PREPARE TO GET TOASTY! Charlie misunderstands the intentions of the nice Government agents? BLAZING INFERNO!
Can this little devil ever be stopped? Will The Shop manage to stomp out those terrifying, unruly embers? Find out in FIRESTARTER.
