Mouth to mouth, the woman had force him back to life, pumping great sickly-sweet gusts of bad breath into him. Sickly-sweet, she smiled down at him, pushing the painkillers into his dry mouth with her big, work-coarsened fingers. Coyly, smiling, she pillow-plumped
and nursery-talked and made sure he finished up every last little scrap.
He was a writer. She was his Number One Fan. She'd pulled him out of the car-wreck, brought him home, splinted and set his mangled legs. All he had to do in return was to write a very special book, just for her, all about her favourite character from his novels. One he'd killed off and now had to bring back to life.
Because if he didn't, if he was Bad and Didn't Do What Nurse Told Him, she would be cross - very cross - and do things that would make him scream and scream....
What a frightening thought for celebrities. What would a number one fan do to you if they had you in their clutches? The scary thing about this book is that there are some really strange people out there in this world and number one fans have done awful things to celebrities in the past. This of course goes to the extreme, but doesn't Stephen King do it well. I wonder if this is Stephen King's worse nightmare? Fantastic book to read!!!!!!!!!!!!
