He wrote Dreamcatcher long hand in notebooks after a life-threatening accident, still in a hospital bed, hopped up on painkillers. An interesting experiment, but maybe not a publishable one.

Oh is that really when he wrote it? I remember when this happened and it was pretty crazy. I was born in the 80s and my mom was a massive King fan. As a result I read and saw most King stuff through the late 90s and then sort or trailed off. I'll still pick him up here and there.

But that accident was terrible and Dreamcatcher makes a lot more sense now. Absolutely nutty to think what else we would have missed out on had it been fatal. He's still so massively prolific!
