”The Dead Zone” is a horror novel by
Stephen King that concerns Johnny Smith, who is injured in an
accident and enters a coma for nearly five years. When he emerges,
he can see horrifying secrets but cannot identify all the details
in his "dead zone", an area of his brain that suffered permanent
damage as the result of his accident. It has been suggested that
the story might be based on self-proclaimed "psychic" Peter Hurkos,
who received a head injury in a fall from a ladder, and afterward
claimed to be able to know things about people by touching objects
that belonged to them, psychometry. The Dead Zone was nominated for
the Locus Award in 1980.
The book is dedicated to King's son, Owen: "This is for Owen. I
Love You, Old Bear."
