Needful Things The Lawnmowner Man Maximum Overdrive
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Stephen King has rightfully earned the title of “King of Horror”, which is why it’s surprising that one of his darkest novels was intended to be a comedy. Stephen King has terrorized generations of readers for decades, becoming the go-to author for those looking for a good dose of scares and suspense.
Stephen King’s Needful Things Was Intended To Be A Comedy Needful Things Isn’t Exactly A Comedy In 1991, Stephen King published the novel Needful Things, his first work after his recovery from substance use disorder. Like many other Stephen King stories, Needful Things is set in Castle Rock, Maine. Needful Things sees the town’s peace being disturbed by the arrival of the mysterious Leland Gaunt, who opens a shop of collectibles and antiques named “Needful Things”.
However, Needful Things was marketed as a horror novel, which fits with the story but not with what King felt the book was like. Speaking to Time, King shared that Needful Things turned out to be a satire of “the whole Ronald Reagan ethos of ‘greed is good, consumerism is good’”, which, to him, was a “hilarious concept”.
