Blaze

After reading this I am a little surprised that it doesn't have a higher rating. I thought it was pretty damn good.
Written around the same time he wrote Carrie, King listed this one under his pseudonym, Richard Bachman. maybe that's fitting because one thing that stands out to me in this novel is that there is a complete absence of the supernatural...nada...zip...zilch!
Blaze, the nickname given to our main character here, is a hardcore crime novel. This is one of those stories that is told in such a way that you know the guy is a criminal, a killer, but knowing his past in detail, you can't help but feel sorry for the big lug.
There is another short story, 'Memory', attached at the end from which we get the novel 'Duma Key'. This story was interesting as well. I think Stephen is giving us a glimpse of the hell he suffered when he was run down by a vehicle. I'm looking forward to that novel now.
