Set near the fictional town of Derry, Maine, Dreamcatcher is the story of four lifelong friends: Gary "Jonesy" Jones, Pete Moore, Joe "Beaver" Clarendon and Henry Devlin. King has since soured on the book, as, in 2014, he told Rolling Stone that "I don't like Dreamcatcher very much," and also stated that the book was written under the influence of Oxycontin, which he was on to control the pain from his accident. His wife, Tabitha King, persuaded him to change the title. According to the author in his afterword, the working title was Cancer. The book, written in cursive, helped the author recuperate from a 1999 car accident, and was completed in half a year. Dreamcatcher is a 2001 science fiction horror novel by American writer Stephen King, featuring elements of body horror, suspense and alien invasion.
