and not one but two (2) psycho killers. Rioting townspeople and unruly baseball players round out the cast. I loved every page, and yet, at the same time, it's a perfect example of the Mental Health Time Warp Effect. When King was growing up and Psycho was in theaters, people had a certain way

Steven King's new novel, Never Flinch, is a terrific page-turner full of favorite themes and tropes, almost like a greatest hits. Holly is front and center, and supporting characters include a charismatic feminist, a Black soul singer, several characters from earlier in the series, (cont)
