To be honest, it's not really fair to expect King to keep readers up at night with every single book he hammers out.  My guess is that when it came to Revival , King's aim was to write something unsettling without all the terror that usually permeates his books.   http://www.amazon.com/Revival-Novel-Stephen-King/dp/1476770395/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1458565382&sr=1-1&keywords=revival+by+stephen+king      Revival  is about a character named Jamie Morton who develops a friendship with Charles Jacobs, a preacher and new-age healer.  Jacobs not only preaches about the miracles performed by Jesus, he pulls off a few himself using a strange form of electricity.  The story begins when Jamie is just an impressionable young boy and continues into his adu...

     They say you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.  Don't Let Anything Dull Your Sparkle  by Doreen Virtue is an example of why this is true.  The cover of this book is certainly enticing, but the content doesn't “sparkle” as the title would indicate.  Interestingly, the title also has the word, “dull,” which may be more appropriate http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Anything-Dull-Your-Sparkle/dp/1401946275/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456836309&sr=8-1&keywords=don%27t+let+anything+dull+your+sparkle           Don't Let Anything Dull Your Sparkle  goes into great detail about how trauma victims behave long after the crisis has ended.
