Stephen King has found many ways to tell a story of good versus evil and this one is set in a familiar place for King fans, in the Nevada desert. If you read The Stand you remember that part of that is set in Las Vegas. Desperation is (I think) a fictional mining town where the story takes place. There were a number of mining towns in the Nevada / California desert that no longer exist. Desperation could be one of those. Mr. King has put together another of his masterpieces about a diverse group of people who encounter evil at an old mining site. The characters are, as always, a very vivid group of personalities that eventually team up against the local evil entity.
