Books like The Regulators

**4.5-stars rounded up**To the residents of Poplar Street, in suburban Wentworth, Ohio, July 15, 1996 seems like any other summer day. The paperboy is dutifully tending to his route, the Reed twins are entertaining young ladies and the corner store is functioning like a well-oiled machine.Not one of them suspects that the proverbial shitis about to hit the fan.The Regulators are coming to Poplar Street and they're coming for blood!It's hard to imagine a 475-page novel, taking place in one afternoon, on one suburban street, making you sweat in anticipation, but this one certainly does. We follow this cast of characters from the minute the Regulators arrive until the bitter end. Some we love, some we hate but in the end, no one escapes their fate.You may wonder, yeah, but what's it all about?Trust me when I say, it's best to go into this knowing as little as possible, but for those of you who are just going to insist on knowing more, I will give you this one small clue: (view spoiler)[ A supernatural hitchhiker named Tak from a mine just outside of Desperation, Nevada, has invaded the mind of one of the young residents of Poplar Street. You may know Tak from a little story aptly named Desperation by Stephen King. (hide spoiler)]
