Except that once I graduated from reading The Black Stallion, the books I read were the dark kind—about scary things like disappearances and murders, especially the true ones. While other kids read J. K. Rowling, I read Stephen King. While other kids did history reports about the Civil War, I read about Lizzie Borden.
My brother is four years older than me, and at age twelve I started raiding his Stephen King bookshelf. I read things I definitely should not have been reading at far too young an age. I also remember a yellowed paperback called “Women Who Kill” that I picked up at a babysitting job. The Lizzie Borden chapter started my love for true crime.

Stephen King has his own section on my shelves.
I have not read your book. About to remedy that.
