You Like It Darker

by Stephen King

I wanted to be a writer, but I was beginning to think being a good one was beyond me. If it was, the world would continue to spin.

hey steve-o, get out of my head

That part of me is a cave-dweller who grins a lot but never smiles.

perfect description of this feeling is perfect

somewhere north of hoot and south of holler?

Okay this made me giggle

This time it’s Pat, jeans low-riding, hat turned around backward, totally down widdit.

This is an embarrassing sentence you've written here, Mr. King

“Inspector Jalbert!”

How am I expected to not burst into The Confrontation under these conditions

It’s Elsa Oldenburg from Frozen.

Not her extremely obscure and not even technically canon government name. Stephen!

Cujo,

I can't believe I went my whole life without specific plot spoilers (outside the obvious) for Cujo and got spoiled by the King himself in a sequel novella haha

Grief sleeps but doesn’t die.

Horror stories are best appreciated by those who are compassionate and empathetic. A paradox, but a true one.
