Blaze
by Stephen King
(0 reviews)
Richard Bachman, author of the bestselling novel Thinner and four thrillers that have sold millions in an omnibus edition entitled The Bach- man Books, now performs an eerie encore with Blaze—featuring a foreword by Stephen King.
Blaze is a story with an unlikely hero, Clay Blaisdell, nicknamed Blaze. He's not a particularly smart man—which probably has to do with the deep dent on his forehead bestowed upon him by his abusive father when he was a child. He may take bad advice from his best friend George's ghost and he may have broken the law one or a dozen times but, in his soul, Blaze is a good per- son—even when he decides to kidnap Joe Gerard IV, the 6-month- old heir to a Maine shipping fortune.
Leave it to Richard Bachman to make this lifetime criminal one of the most heartbreakingly sympathetic characters we've seen in a long time. …
