Every Stephen King Novel Ranked Worst To Best

7. The Dead Zone

Stephen King in It: Chapter Two
Viking Press

The Dead Zone is a novel which not only dares to ask the question, "Would you kill Hitler if you went back in time?", but actually answers it as well.

After a car accident (and a five-year coma), Johnny Smith finds himself able to see people's futures just by touching them. Following a meeting with an unhinged but ambitious politician, Johnny realises he has the chance to stop the man from creating a catastrophe.

A beautifully written tale filled with striking metaphors and big ideas about the world, The Dead Zone is every bit inspired as it is the perfect book for today's topsy-turvy politics.
