Thank you so much for King Sorrow.
One of the most beautifully crafted books I've ever read.
It took me two weeks to read it, as I quickly came to the realisation that I didn't want it to end.

I'm only 450 pages in, and King Sorrow, by @joe-hill.bsky.social (sorry about the tag, old bean), & it's already in my top 20. I've read over 3,000 books (and so far, have listened to 1,600). Hit a six on this one.
The only reason I haven't finished it yet, is that I don't want the journey to end.

Enjoyed your novella @talkscaredpod.bsky.social, Neil.
Picked up on some Stephen King vibes, particularly when you described Jim's first encounter with the boggart.
Looking forward to what you have coming next.

"Such is their fear of jail, bankruptcy or reprisal, that most people I spoke to insisted on anonymity. This was in spite of the fact that many of the same people said Trump would only be restrained by powerful voices standing up to him." My Weekend FT essay. Please read it. on.ft.com/4hqblpr

I've just finished reading 'Angel Down', by Daniel Kraus.
I'm completely blown away.
It's a work of high art; poetic, beautiful, grim, hopeful, & honest.
I thought the format would be problematic for me... but it melts into being exactly how it should be.
& that confuses me now that I've finished.

Unfortunately, you seem to have something in common with our odious MP Nigel Farage.
Please keep your cool. Mini hands doing the good work.

I'm trying to cast my mind back.
Was it Richard Laymon that had, shall we say, a thing for nipples being in pain.
And yes, this is a clunky post.
I'm on a lot of pain meds.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social is my hero. (Don't ask me about my standards.)
And I fumbled my chat with him today.

Anyone got a recommendation for A horror book with heart?
One that will make me cry at some point?
I need to have a good blub.

Sorry to drop in like this.
But your 'A letter to the reader' at the end of American Rapture had me sobbing.
I loved your book, very much.
But trying to read this to my wife (as I felt I had to) when I'd finished, was so damn hard.
It's truly beautiful.

It's on this day of the year that ai am reminded of Christian Slater's most romantic line in a movie, when sending flowers to the one he loves:
"Love and kisses on all your pink parts."

If your argument is "sure, a terrible modern event has a parallel in the 1920s and 30s but don't worry we turned out just fine", might I suggest reading about the 1940s.

He has the Elixir of youth, and will one day pen a horror novel about the folk he took out when they discovered his secret.

No idea if you're a music fan, let alone rock, Neil McRobert from @talkscaredpod.bsky.social
But if you listen to "Until the End" by Breaking Benjamin, you may find it fits the Dark Tower v well
Some genius made a tribute video on YouTube over a decade ago, but it got removed.
It was a work of art.
