Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It was an e-book? I swear I saw it in a book store. I remember the Buick on the cover....

Of course, I loved Christine when it came out - I read the thing nonstop, cover to cover. Although I did note that Plymouth did not make a four-door Fury in 1958....

I adored From a Buick 8, which is not what I expected. One of the best he's done this decade.

From a blog:

Send the Warp Your Room people an exact plan for your walls, showing where your doors, windows, pictures, and electrical outlets are, and they'll generate a custom wallpaper for you that "warps" the pattern around everything that protrudes through the paper.

It was (I think) an ebook first, then published in hardback.

Yep, From a Buick 8 was the book! IIRC, it was his first book after The Green Mile, so our King fans were happy he had another full-blown book book out.

Pretty much everything he writes eventually gets printed, doesn't it?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The Chronicle of Higher Ed has an article about the persistence of Goth.

Huh. I'm interested to read those books.

ARCs are going out this week.

I hide under bed now.

WHEE!!!! passes bubbly under the bed

Hmmm. I've read Goth: Undead Subculture, and while it was interesting, there were sections that read like I was trapped in a game of academic buzzword bingo.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Monique has promised to vet all reviews for me (if there should be any) and to let me know what level of nervous breakdown they will cause me.

Oh! Tommyrot, I almost forgot. JZ and I saw a Delorean on the road last week when we were on the highway. We wished you were there to see it.
