A note for parents
The Tommyknockers is a lengthy, intense King horror novel centered on an alien presence that transforms a small town in disturbing and violent ways. The book contains graphic violence, body horror, psychological trauma, and pervasive dark themes that make it unsuitable for young readers. While it has some positive moments involving courage and resistance to evil, the overwhelming tone is bleak and the content is adult-oriented.

For the dull gray metal protrusion she discovers in the ground is part of a mysterious and massive metal object, one that may have been buried there for millennia. Bobbi can’t help but become obsessed and try to dig it out…the consequences of which will affect and transmute every citizen of Haven, young and old. It means unleashing extraordinary powers beyond those of mere mortals—and certain death for any and all outsiders. An alien hell has now invaded this small New England town…an aggressive and violent malignancy devoid of any mercy or sanity…
