Stephen King has a column in the June 3, 2011, issue of Entertainment Weekly with his reading list for the summer. He includes The Five in the twelve books profiled. You can see a scan of the page by clicking on the image to the left, but here’s what he wrote:
THE FIVE Robert McCammon
One of the finest horror-suspense writers of the late ’70s and ’80s returns with a riveting novel of a rock band (the Five) pursued by a mentally unstable Army vet who’s offended by one of their videos. It’s scary; it’s also a soaring anthem to the redemptive power of rock & roll. You probably won’t find it in your bookstore, so go to your (hopefully nonmalevolent) computer and click on subterraneanpress.com.
