Firestarter is one of King's more underrated forays into science fiction. The novel follows Andy and Charlie, a father and daughter on the run from "The Shop," the government agency that gave them telekinetic and pyrokinetic abilities. Elements of the novel, such as corrupt government experiments and Charlie's destructive superpowers, continue to recur in popular media like Stranger Things. Since a remake of the 1980s adaptation is in the works, now might be the perfect time to give Firestarter a read.
