King's novels exemplifies his skill at portraying
the concerns of his generation, it's
The Dead Zone (1979). Although it contains a horrific subplot about a serial killer, it isn't strictly a horror novel. It's
the story of an unassuming high school teacher, an Everyman, who suffers a gap in time--like a Rip Van Winkle who blacks out during
the years 1970-75--and thus becomes acutely conscious of
the way that American society is rapidly changing. He wakes up as well with a gap in his brain,
the "
dead zone" of
the title.
The zone gives him crippling headaches, but also grants him second sight, a talent he doesn't want and is reluctant to use.
The crux of
the novel concerns whe
ther he will use that talent to alter
the course of history.
