This is almost one of those "black helicopter" stories, but not even close to being so pedestrian. In the late sixties a guy and a girl (students) were enticed into participating in a shadowy drug experiment done by a shadowy government entity and earning two hundred dollars for their efforts. (flaming youth) But student often equals poor. They subsequently married and produced a child (little girl) that had some truly scary talents. Once again Mr. King writes a very entertaining story with some vivid characters and plot twists. This is a short one for him at 371 pages.
