Abridged
Goes Hand In Hand with The Regulators, almost like this is the 2nd half as to what happened across the hole in the other town.
CD Rip in True Stereo followed by volume normalization and cleaning of low and high frequency muffling and sharpness.
The Official Cds from Penguin Audio were split incorrectly so that the start of a disc sounded like it came RIGHT AFTER a word or sentence, very abrupt. So I combined every track of every Disc into one file and then split the story properly by listening to it in Audacity and then splitting at a chapter or clear delineation point.
This sounds MUCH better than any digital or CD version available. This 6 hour Abridged version also has music effects woven into the narration, making it a pretty cool read/listen.
Desperation is a horror novel by American author Stephen King. It was published in 1996 at the same time as its “mirror” novel, The Regulators, itself published under King’s Richard Bachman pseudonym. It was also made into a TV film starring Ron Perlman, Tom Skerritt and Steven Weber in 2006. The two novels represent parallel universes relative to one another, and most of the characters present in one novel’s world also exist in the other novel’s reality, albeit in different circumstances.
Desperation is a story about several people who, while traveling along the desolated Highway 50 in Nevada, get abducted by Collie Entragian, the deputy of the fictional mining town of Desperation. Entragian uses various pretexts for the abductions, from an arrest for drug possession to “rescuing” a family from a nonexistent gunman. It becomes clear to the captives that Entragian has been possessed by an evil being named Tak, who has control over the surrounding desert wildlife and must change hosts to keep itself alive. They begin to fight for their freedom, sanity and lives before realizing that if they are ever to escape Desperation, they must trap Tak in the place from which he came.
