Humble Bundle got an exclusive story from him.

Just finished Billy Summers. At first it kinda reminded me of a Carl Hiaasen novel but without the absurdity of the characters. After the opening that went away. All in all it seemed more along the lines of the old Bachman books some. It’s been a while since I’ve read any of his newer stuff but found it to be really enjoyable.

New short story compilation coming (“You Like It Darker”) and a sequel to Cujo called “Rattlesnakes”.

New short story compilation coming (“You Like It Darker”)...

I always enjoy his short story collections more than his novels, so I'm excited for this.

Finished reading Holly, and it was ok. Definitely not one of his best books, and I think he can let go of the character now. It was still well written though. He’s always engaging, even if the plot is kind of dull and repetitive.

Since I’ve been on a King kick, I decided to finally pick up Salem’s Lot. I’m almost done, and it’s ok, but maybe I was expecting a little more. The plot just seems kind of ludicrous, and everyone is a little too quick to accept a vampire infestation and become an expert on it overnight. His pacing seems to have improved a lot since he wrote this, also. Still it’s entertaining.

with 'Salem, i think...well, i read it when i was like, ten. That probably helped. Holly, yeah, i saw that one at the store the other day. I honestly still haven't read Fairy Tale, and it's because, well, what the fuck will i do when there aren't any more new SK books?

I'm glad Holly is reasonable, though, but SURELY you like Salem better?

But then, again...it was like 1990 for me.

edit: oh, and if "You Like It Darker" is anything like "Full Dark, No Stars", i say goddamn. also, what up @Erneuert

In other words, i hope he isn't trying to prove, AGAIN, that he can write REALLY fucked up shit. It's like, "ok, i believe you. I believed you when you did it before. I never said you COULDN'T."

I'm a Just After Sunset man.

Maybe he understand the Human Condition better than we give him credit for, the same thing happens every time there's a new thing in the news.

I'm only like 45% joking there, sigh.
