I've been reading THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT slowly, savoring it to keep the stories from blending together. Just got to "Wrong Fucking Place, Wrong Fucking Time" by @crobertcargill.bsky.social, and holy hell, is that a standout. Can this be a movie? I want it to be a movie.

Cover of THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT: NEW TALES OF STEPHEN KING'S THE STAND edited by Christopher Golden and Brian Keene.

Sad to say goodbye to Robert Redford but happy for the movies, characters, and moments he gave us. RIP.

I went to see the Waterboys at the Danforth in Toronto last Thursday. Such a great show, and Steve Earle showed up on the big screen!

I'm reading "Keep the Devil Down" by @rioyouers.bsky.social in The End of the World As We Know It, and I had to take a break to go order another of his books. I am always blown away by his writing.
