Eerily similar. On NPR's Fresh Air a couple days ago, King discussed with Terry Gross what it feels like to him to be "living in a Stephen King book."

Many, many years since I read that book. Think I'll dig it out of my closet boxes of old books to re-read it.

Starts out with a pandemic killing off millions. Survivors fall into 2 camps, good and evil, who battle it out for what the new world will be like.
