"The wrist that he had broken when he leaped the railing of the stairway bolted to the Cheery Oil tank had not healed right, and that wrist was a grotesque lump wrapped in a dirty, unraveling Ace bandage. All the bones in the fingers of that hand had pulled up somehow, turning the hand into a Quasimodo claw. His left arm was a slowly healing mass of burn tissue from elbow to shoulder. It no longer smelled bad and suppurated, but the new flesh was hairless and pink, like the skin of a cheap doll." (Page 563, The Stand)
Every character created and introduced by Stephen King makes me second guess all my orignal assumptions. I think that maybe the characters are just gonna die or the normal will happen but then Mr. King switches things up on me. Occasionally he puts in a couple of creepers. Some are obvious creepers like Trashcan Man (dude mentioned above) and some are completly unobvious until the creepy moment. I'm really loving these books that have a lot of thought put into them.
I really want to say a whole lot more about this man but I don't want to give away any part of the book (for those of you that might actually read it). So yeah, he is creepy and I really want to know what will happen with him.

I totally agree with you Steven king is a creeper,and writes weird things, but his literature is still desirable to read.
