Check it out! Just started MONSTERS IN THE ARCHIVES @carolinebicks.bsky.social and it’s damn good, an insider’s look at @stephenking.bsky.social at the diction and syntax level. So fascinating the editorial changes he made. A must for King fans and writers!

Really enjoyed DEATH BY LIGHTNING. I remember reading DESTINY OF THE REPUBLIC by Candice Millard and I found it riveting. This adaptation is perfect, both a cautionary tale of corrupt politics and an ode to the possibility of the genuine greatness one can only find in his heart, not in headlines.

The ending where Ed Harris as Sheriff Pangborn speechifies in the street about how Gaunt has manipulated everyone is not King’s ending but it is his theme, and the way the world is now, we could use a Pangborn to help clear things up.

Had the great pleasure this morning to play Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde for a freshmen class putting him on trial for murder. I played up the insanity defense. Was great fun.

You know what makes cleaning the house an actually fun enterprise? Listening to HATCHET GIRLS @joerlansdale.bsky.social while you do it. Love it. (And at least I’m not trying to rope a hog.)

The story “Shadow and Thirst” in CORPSEMOUTH @johnlangan.bsky.social is so damn good, and it made me think of a Stephen Crane poem, which I then wrote on the story’s last page.

Read this back in August before it published, immediately preordered the hardcover, and now listening as @joshmalerman.bsky.social performs it. A must for all writers, especially we writers of horror: this book is inspiring, motivational, and so damn refreshing.
