Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Revival is a novel by Stephen King.Spanning five decades, Revival chronicles the relationship between the protagonist, Jamie Morton, and Charles Jacobs, a reverend obsessed with the powers of electricity who Jamie meets as a boy. When tragedy strikes Jacobs' family, he delivers a sermon in which he curses God and all religious belief and is subsequently banished from town. Many years later, Jamie, now a heroin-addicted drifter, meets Charles Jacobs again, and the two form a pact with dark consequences for both.King has listed Frankenstein, The Great God Pan and the writing of H. P. Lovecraft as being influences for the story.

Bury Your Gays

Bury Your Gays: Zig-zagged; while technically Astrid and her nurse/partner both die during the big die-off at the end of the story, Con makes it out relatively well, only falling into a mute fugue from which he seems to be recovering.

And I Must Scream: Die, and become a slave to (and maybe eventually part of) Mother. There's nothing to suggest any alternative.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished
 Revival / int_fe614133
comment
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Discussed, but averted with Astrid after Jamie sees her in her cancer stricken state. Jamie lampshades this cliche by saying how he would be expected to say that she has still maintained her beauty despite the cancer, but that is not the case. Played straight with Mary Fay; Jamie notes that, despite her suffering from Creutzfeldt-Jakobs disease, she's beautiful in death.
