This week, I examine Stephen King's most underrated novel, The Regulators. Published on the same day as Desperation, this entry, under the pen name Richard Bachman, is one of King's most high concept novels.  Perfectly skewering suburban life as well as offering up commentary on living with a difficult child, The Regulators is an action sci-fi with satirical horror elements that combine to make this novel  an incredibly imaginative journey.
