So when you begin reading a new - or an old - King book you may feel in familiar territory. Having watched David Cronenberg’s excellent 1984 film adaptation of The Dead Zone, starring Christoper Walken, I was already familiar with that story and decided to read Firestarter, a book I knew nothing about.įor those of us who have read many of King’s books you notice similar themes running throughout: alcoholism, psychic abilities, the wonder of childhood, many of his books share similar themes. ![]() ![]() Having read Carrie (1974), Salem’s Lot (1975), and The Shining (1977) I was left with two choices: The Dead Zone (1979) or Firestarter (1980).

Throughout the year, this means that either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun and receives the maximum intensity of the sun’s rays. Solstices and shifting solar declinations are a result of Earth’s 23.5° axial tilt as it orbits the sun. During the December solstice (marked between December 20 and December 23), solar declination is about 23.5°S (the Tropic of Capricorn). During the June solstice (marked between June 20 and June 22), solar declination is about 23.5°N (the Tropic of Cancer). On Earth, solstices are twice-yearly phenomena in which solar declination reaches the Tropic of Cancer in the north and the Tropic of Capricorn in the south. On our planet, solstices are defined by solar declination-the latitude of Earth where the sun is directly overhead at noon. A solstice is an event in which a planet’s poles are most extremely inclined toward or away from the star it orbits. ![]() |
