[edit] Time frame

I deleted the clause "(from mid-1974 to mid-1978)". In the version I read (UK paperback, I bought it while on holiday as a teen) the story extends into 1980, since at one point a couple of the characters discuss the Iran hostage crisis. It's possible that King may have revised the story slightly for different printings, as he has done in some other short stories. Ellsworth 23:44, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apt pupil is not 'horror'

it is disturbing (or at least, trying to) but it's not horror. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.153.236.209 (talk) 07:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC).
