![]() ![]() The problem with this subject is that it seems so fake, so done, and so last century. Imagine a 90s Hollywood movie with aliens – Dreamcatcher is exactly that, in book form. The beings are not very friendly, and the US army makes an appearance. ![]() Dreamcatcher deals with an UFO that lands on American soil. It’s just not something you’d expect from the Stephen King stereotype – the archetypical horror writer. Something that doesn’t appeal to many people, is that Dreamcatcher is old-school science-fiction. It’s threat is more direct, the execution more ruthless and realistic. Yet Dreamcatcher doesn’t feel the same as It – it’s much more concrete where It seemed whimsical. On one hand we have this motif we’ve seen before – children who do something important in their childhood which ties together with some happening in their adulthood. This year’s trip is different – they see moving lights, get stuck in a terrible snow-storm, and meet someone who is… not entirely right.ĭreamcatcher is a strange book. They go on an annual hunting trip, but barely speak throughout the year. It’s not well loved, but as per my usual reaction with King’s books, I still found plenty of enjoyment in Dreamcatcher.įive boys from Derry grow up to be four guys. At seven-hundred pages, it can hardly be called little, but in the oeuvre of Stephen King it hardly registers as a small blip. Dreamcatcher is kind of an odd little ducky. ![]()
