Welcome to Derry is so good! I like how the show tricks us by making us assume the new group of kids are a stand in for the losers in the IT movies just to kill most of them off by the end of the episode. It’s clear they’re going in a totally different direction for the show

If they wanted to double their sales overnight? Start providing a zip folder containing blurbs, BISAC, and three to five web-ready images with each title stocked. It would shave hours off our work day, with the immediate effect that we'd prefer them over the rest of our suppliers.

lol, publishers pushing for bookstores to use AI to recommend books 🙄
They'd have to give the AI, like, information about the books, or something.
We're what, 40 years into computerized point of sale systems? And they still don't give us even spreadsheets of basic bibliographic data consistently.

150 pages into Joe Hill's KING SORROW and I'm struck by how fundamentally kind it is: What if your big, scary enemies were really small and human? What if your big, scary revenge fantasies pained you when played out in real life? What if they revealed you to be small and human, too?
