Title Page: "The Dead Zone" by Stephen King. NY: The Viking Press, (1979). First edition.
Johnny Smith is an ordinary young man with a talent for teaching and a new girl. As he takes Sarah to a carnival, life looks good. But a few hours later an accident slams Johnny Smith into a coma that will last four and half years, and a lot can change in four and a half years.
When Johnny wakes up, his girl, his career, and his youth are gone. But the tragedy of his loss is nothing compared to the horror of his gain. For Johnny Smith can now scan the minds, the pasts, and the futures of certain others through a single touch. It is a gift he does not want and a fate he cannot escape.
King's creepy story was the basis of a 1983 movie starring the equally creepy Christopher Walken.
