The Regulators is a novel by American author Stephen King, writing under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. It was published in 1996 at the same time as its "mirror" novel, Desperation. 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. Additionally, the hardcover first editions of each novel, if set side by side, make a complete painting, and on the back of each cover is also a peek at the opposite's cover.

Intense and engaging right from the start, as most SK novels are. Even his worst one is still a book you can't down.Exciting as it was, the plot sometimes struck me as a little silly. Canned spaghetti, commercialized children's toys, and television westerns are the food of evil, y'all. Not that there's anything wrong with that, the man does have a sense of humor. It has a parallel-world story connection to [b:Desperation 10584 Desperation Stephen King https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1395764566l/10584.SY75.jpg 14015], but I liked this one better. I don't have strong, objective literary reasons for this, I just enjoyed the characters and interactions a bit more.
