Jesus!

If you’re the photographer and want to give them permission, I guess they could.

They are limited on what pictures are available for use.

Goosebumps! I love it!

Love her!

“I read Betty Friedan’s book because I was very curious about it, and it’s so whiny, it’s just enough to drive a modern person mad to listen to these suburban housewives from the late ’50s ensconced in their comfortable secure lives complaining about the fact that they’re bored because they don’t have enough…

No, I think it’s inevitable and necessary that authors write characters that are different than their own demographic, but their success in doing so is not guaranteed. It’s not that cis white men shouldn’t “speak,” it’s the other people should have more places at the table.

He can own it and toss in some personal anecdotes. :)

Nice.

I don’t know, that Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption might be able to be made into a passable movie. :)

I liked Sleeping Beauties, once I gave him and Owen King somewhat of a pass for being cis white dude dealing with racism and feminist themes. They tried.

What about that guy whose all schtick is being a liberal redneck?

I love writer characters. I know he goes to that well a lot, but I find them to be some of his best characters. Lisey’s story is his homage to his wife, so in that case he really did have to make her late husband a writer. And he’s write that if he goes first she will have all the crazed stalkers descending upon her.

I like Koontz, and I like his writing. I certainly love that he loves Golden Retrievers. But, even though they’re often compared, Stephen King is vastly more talented.

A lot of people have amnesia about that scene in IT, which is funny considering — well, all the amnesia in IT. Sometimes the brain has to protect itself.

I just mentioned that! Didn’t see your post. :)

He has trouble sticking the landing! I loved the end of 11/22/63, and when it came out that Joe Hill talked him into the ending, it just made so much sense.

Danse Macabre is a wonderful analysis of the tropes of horror and gives a great insight into King’s influences at the time it was written (I’d give my left arm for a sequel).

I’m a King fan, for sure, but I’m going to suggest you check out Joe Hill, his son, when you get a chance.
