Episode 18: DOLAN'S CADILLAC
On this episode of Bachman’s Basement, Chris Patton and Chris Clawson roll into one of the coldest revenge tales ever penned by Stephen King: “Dolan’s Cadillac.” Originally published in Nightmares & Dreamscapes, this story trades the supernatural for something far more grounded—and far more brutal. When a quiet schoolteacher’s wife is murdered by a powerful mob figure, justice never comes. What follows isn’t a crime of passion—it’s a methodical descent into obsession. The guys break down the psychology of revenge, the slow-burn tension that defines King’s grimmer voice, and how this story turns patience into a weapon. Is this one of King’s most ruthless protagonists? Does the lack of the paranormal make it more disturbing? And what does the Cadillac itself symbolize in a story about power, control, and inevitability? Strap in. This ride doesn’t swerve. Bachman’s Basement is a podcast that digs into the dark, strange, and unforgettable corners of Stephen King’s work, with a focus on the Richard Bachman novels, and much more.
