Late last night and the night before,
Tommyknockers, Tommyknockers, knocking at the door.
I want to go out, don't know if I can,
'Cause I'm so afraid of the Tommyknocker man.
The Tommyknockers (1987):
Definitely for the alien/UFO fanatic. This novel is creepy and grotesque, yet hard to put down.
The main characters are writers (well, on writer and one poet)as happens a lot in Stephen King's writings.
The actual plot takes a while to get going, but the beginning is by no means slow or boring. Once the plot gets going, it is hard not to be afraid of visiting Haven, Maine. The town is next to Derry, which comes from the IT storyline. There are multiple references to IT and Derry in the novel
(Speaking of Haven, there is a new SYFY series based on the town that Tommyknockers takes place in. A friend has told me that the Tommyknocker story line has not taken place in Haven yet, but it feels like it is headed in that direction. see here for TV info).
The novel encompasses many characters, not just the writer and the poet. All of the people in the town become involved in this thrill ride of a horror novel.
A great read, especially if you are looking to have nightmares involving eerie green light.
