Throwback SF Thursday: Firestarter by Stephen King
Firestarter is the story of Andy McGee, possessing mild powers of mind domination, and his young daughter, Charlie McGee, possessing very un-mild powers of pyrokinesis. The story begins with Andy and Charlie on the run from agents of a mysterious … Continue reading
Vintage Science Fiction Month: Fire Time by Poul Anderson
