Stephen King's Needful Things

I just finished another LONG book in Stephen King's collection of works. Needful Things is quite an interesting read and was going to be on the next large post on my blog. I was going to compare it to another of Stephen King's work called The Tommyknockers  and compare the two works and their similarities but I'll being putting that off for a little while. My favorite parts are when the people of Castle Rock have a showdown with their supposed enemy. If you don't know the story, the townsfolk are told to play a prank on someone they barely know in exchange for receiving the object of their desire whether it be a special game, a rare card, or something of value. The pranks cause the victims to suspect the culprit is someone that they are currently...at ends with. As the story progresses, the people begin to fight and even kill each other in anger over these seemingly harmless pranks.
I enjoyed reading Stephen King's final tale about the enigmatic town of Castle Rock. It will most likely remain the final story since half the town is either dead or blown up. When Stephen King wants to end the story about a place, he doesn't mess around.
Anyway, in comparison to the Fraser Heston movie, the book has quite a few differences. There's more storylines that intertwine, the main villain is more menacing and the people actually die. I mean when a kid puts a gun up to his head and pulls the trigger, he doesn't end up in the hospital, he ends up in the morgue. And I know I sound morbid but that's what makes Stephen King's works so haunting, even a kid isn't safe.
Clearly Needful Things should've been a TV show instead of a movie, and with big shows like Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead, and with Stephen King's other works being remade, like Carrie, now is definitely the time.
