Title: More post-apocalyptic fiction from Stephen King
Review: Some sort of 'Pulse' suddenly transforms anyone that uses a cell phone into a primal zombie. The story follows two strangers in Boston who endure the initial chaos and meet other survivors leaving the burning city. The zombies (or 'phoners') develop telepathic and precognitive abilities as they mysteriously organize to convert the few remaining 'normals'. The scattered normals alternately flee and combat the phoners as they are all drawn to a remote fairground in Maine. As usual, King makes creating realistic characters and an unsettling ambience seem easy. While there are some holes in the story as noted by other reviewers, this is still an entertaining novel and recommended for casual fans of King's fiction.
