If you are now thinking of the recent Netflix show Stranger Things, don’t forget that King got there first: he’s been writing about psychic children and conspiracies since the Sixties. King’s latest novel, The Institute, belongs to this second category, and is as consummately honed and enthralling as the very best of his work. Hidden in the depths of the American forest, the organisation known as “the Institute” sends out special forces to kidnap children (having first dispatched their families), and subjects them to all kinds of horrific tests in order to bring out their developing psychic powers. His new book, The Institute, concerns a sinister government facility, operational since the Second World War. Deep in the woods of Maine, there is a dark state facility where kids, abducted from across the United States, are incarcerated. There’s no question about it: Stephen King is a past master at casting an eerie shade on familiar fictional materials.
