Regulators, The Formats: Hardcover First Edition Release Date: 1996
Synopsis:
The peaceful suburban life on Poplar Street in Wentworth, Ohio is shattered one fine day when four vans containing shotgun-wielding "regulators" terrorize the street's residents, cold-bloodedly killing anyone foolish enough to venture outdoors. Houses mysteriously transform into log cabins and the street now ends in what looks like a child's hand-drawn western landscape. Masterminding this sudden onslaught is the evil creature Tak, who has taken over the body of an autistic boy whose parents were killed in a drive-by shooting several months earlier.

Please, please, please make this story into a movie. It would be a great a movie. It would have been perfect at the height of the Power Rangers phenomenon, but it's still such an action packed, twisted, messed up story that would be awesome for the big screen.

One didn't come before the other. Desperation and Regulators are kind of alternate realities, much like those in The Dark Tower Series. Both are great books by the way!!!
