ah, nice and violent, just like everything over at Shotgun Honey should be. nice, @authordileo.bsky.social
What can I say? If this guy says my story is “nice and violent,” you know you should read it. So cool.
For example, King uses an obvious zombie metaphor but then takes us from there to graduation commencement. “Going nowhere slowly.” Really wonderful writing.

I hadn’t read this story in many years. But, man, does it hit different now. Ten years ago my mother died, and now my mother-in-law is in the hospital, and this story written by a young @stephenking.bsky.social hits every emotional note. Really astounding work.

Home and sleeping in her heated bed.
Picking her up now.
My cat Starling has been battling some kind of lymphatic infection (or genetic mutation) all her life (she’s one!), and today she’s having her leg removed (as you see, it’s getting gruesome). Much like her namesake, Agent Clarice Starling, she’s a survivor, tough and smart. She will endure.

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.
