I probably should review the synopsis of this new novel by the returning Stephen King, since it does not do any sort of justice to this intriguing science fiction story. That's right - I said science fiction, not horror. Dreamcatcher, just as Tommyknockers, is a science fiction story ... it involves aliens ... which makes this science fiction, not horror. It could be argued in Tommyknockers that since it involved ghosts of aliens it must be classified horror. And with Dreamcatcher, maybe the strange powers-of-the-mind these four men share put this in the catagory of supernatural, thus horror still. But I read the over six hundred pages of Dreamcatcher and this is definately science fiction. Is War of the Worlds a horror story?
