Bachman is Stephen King without a conscience. This is the harrowing story of a suburban neighborhood in the grip of surreal terror. On a summer afternoon on Poplar St. everything is normal, except for the red van idling just up the hill. Soon it will begin to roll, & the killing will begin. A quiet slice of American suburbia is about to turn to toast. By nightfall, the surviving residents will find themselves in another world, one where anything, no matter how terrible, is possible . . . and where the regulators are on their way. How far they will go, & how they can be stopped - these are the desperate questions. The answers are absolutely terrifying.
