This happens with many authors, of course, especially those who put out three or four books a week. What I don't like, and what Desperation and The Regulators are full of: 1. Gore, slime, and muck passing for horror -- Swarms of spiders eating eyeballs, vultures plucking out eyeballs, arms and legs being ripped off by animals and/or gunfire, throats being torn open by giant lizards who bathe in the resulting fountains of blood. This is gore and excess, and not even remotely...
