JENNY is the first novel that has gotten me an agent and, now, a publisher. I wrote several and sent them out over the past decade and change but this, here, is the one that clicked.

All set for Saturday! I hope @stephenking.bsky.social won't mind.

I'm outside holding a sign which is four feet wide by three feet tall. Spray-painted on it using stencils in huge letters is:

MY ONLY
KING IS
STEPHEN
KING

There's also a photo of Stephen King at the lower right and left.

Now, more than ever, you have to be a weird little pervert who makes art of questionable quality. You need to be driven crazy by the flesh. Because, as we all learned from Cronenberg's The Fly, the computers are not made crazy by the flesh. They can't do it like us.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

you should support smaller presses and and short story magazines whose editors and authors are pouring their whole soul into them

What's your totally ordinary opinion about books that you nonetheless find compelled to share when asked on a social media site such as this one for your most extreme/unhinged/hottest takes?

I'll go first: manga is popular among young people because manga often features young people.

Just a fun Spanish werewolf monster movie! Gorgeous, gothic, and just a little ridiculous.

A ★★★★ review of Curse of the Devil (1973)

In which a nobleman, Count Daninsky, pays for his ancestor's torture and hanging of witches (among them...Elizabeth Bathory?) by being eventually cursed to turn into a murderous werewolf and, presumab...

Adverbs are good, actually. Anyone who eschews adverbs is a coward.

"Therapy language" (ex, "I'm processing") in historical novels set prior to the late twentieth century just doesn't work.

George Eliot's work, and maybe most novels, would be a lot stronger if they cut down on the sermonizing and didacticism. Essays, polemics, manifestos, and blog posts exist for a reason!

There are men who write women really well and it gets eerily bio-essentialist to claim men always write women badly.

I think tropes (ex. "enemies to lovers," "there was only one bed") are a twee as hell marketing tool that shouldn't be taken too seriously, but it doesn't matter if it gets someone to read a book who will absolutely fucking love it.

It's actually totally fine to dislike a book but also acknowledge it is not "utter trash" "overrated" "degenerate" "ruined the concept of fiction for me" or whatever

Jane Eyre and Rochester turn each other on sexually from the jump, but what really drives Jane into an erotic frenzy are Rochester's scars and stump at the end.

We should bring back pocket paperbacks. Pocket-sized is the correct size for a paperback.

Even if I don't understand the plot or anything that's happening in a story it can still hit me like a ton of bricks [complimentary].
