The Tommyknockers is a 1987 science fiction novel by Stephen King. While maintaining a horror style, the novel is an excursion into the realm of science fiction for King, as the residents of the Maine town of Haven gradually fall under the influence of a mysterious object buried in the woods. King has since soured on The Tommyknockers, describing it as "an awful book."
There's a good book somewhere in these ideas, but it's not this one. It's bad! Even King says so, and he's correct. Deeply and inexplicably misogynist. Edward Hermann did a good job of reading it though.
