We've seen many posts like this before. Firstly I didn't read it as the bad guy being black, but lets say he was. I'm racking my brains to think of another infamous character in SK's works that was black. It's the white redneck racists I feel sorry for, they get a real bum ride from Unca Stevie ;)

She perhaps read something into the story that was not intended.

after reading her profile page I can sympathize with her (sounds like she has been through the School of Hard Knocks), but I also think maybe her first post could have been something a bit more innocuous, like "Hi! My name is ______ and I am a newbie! How y'all doing?

Now I have to go buy Bizarre of Bad Dreams, as I STILL have not gotten around to purchasing that one!

This is so true. But once again, as Spidey pointed out, He is writing real people.

.....not infamous in a "bad guy" kind way, but the first one that leapt to mind is Speedy Parker......
