Thanks for this Liza! I used to have a girlfriend was an avid reader of Stephen King. It will be good to check out this story, as I’ve been leaning more to bizarre tales to write about myself. :).
Awesome, Kev. Let me know what you think of this story….
Thanks Liza. I just heard that NetFlix’s adaptation of SK’s “1922” is scary good fun. As a long-time King fan I look forward to the read.
Things -can- always be worse. Ask any protagonist from… anything. They’ll tell you.
As for me, I have a roof over my head that is not falling on said head, and I have no scary twin girls from a haunted hotel stalking me, so I’m ahead of the game today. Peace..
RICK!!!! So grateful for roofs over heads!! So grateful for the lacking of scary haunted stuff!! Bucketfuls of peace to you.
What a amazing writer! He takes me in every time.
Yeah. And I will say this one was pretty irresistible.
