Minor: Pedophilia and Pandemic/Epidemic
It's not enacted by the characters themselves, but there is deep antisemitism and anti Romani stereotypes embedded in the depictions of the antagonists. I wouldn't be surprised if the author didn't consciously or intentionally put it there, but wow it is THERE. Heavy spoilers, but nothing for the ending:lecheeese's review against another edition

There are still aspects of King's writing that are still sexist, racist, and ableist, so I can't give it the 5 stars it might have had without these inclusions. Compared to The Shining, this book does better in a lot of ways since I couldn't stop reading this 500+pg book.
