Location: Middle TN, USA		Under the Dome was the book that turned me off Stephen King for a while. I read it back in 2009 when it came out, and the story was great, but there was a scene in a bunker that was just too, too disturbing for me. Since then I have found the joys of "Splatterpunk" and so If I read it now I probably would not be so squeamish. I just finished Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door, but still to this day I shudder at the thought of rereading Under the Dome! Don't worry, I totally see the incongruity of the situation.

@Sable Aradia, I don't think Under The Dome will work for your APOC challenge. The "Dome" in question only effects one town, so unless it has changed the book does not meet the Apoc challenge requirements, it would be more like "Handmaid's Tale"
