You're right, what's scariest about her is that people start believing her, and King's excellent at showing how desperately people will act when they go into survival mode in a crisis. Will a human sacrifice get us out of this mess? WHO KNOWS, let's try it.<br /><br />It's really then that you want to shake people and say "What is wrong with you, how could you think like this?"<br /><br />Ahem.
