I had fully forgotten how goddamn sad the end of Nick’s introduction is (“He carried her like a groom, going over an endless threshold”) and I had ALSO forgotten the first Flagg chapter establishes that it was HIS idea to grab Patty Hearst and drive her batty and then LEFT 20 minutes before the cops showed up.

The tears were close now. It wouldn’t take much to set them off. But he knew the sight of them would set Tom to crying as well. So he choked them back for the moment.

I had forgotten completely about how Glenn starts calling Flagg stuff like “Azathoth” and “Nyarlathotep” TO HIS FACE. Any time King directly acknowledges stuff he came up with, it’s so good. And feels so purely HIM too.

Glenn then said a very curious thing. “I will fear no evil.” And then the discussion was apparently closed.

It didn’t matter. Nick would tell him. And he would see him again once he had returned. He missed Nick, laws yes.

She knew he was here.
Even before he spoke, he knew.
“Naaadine. Nadine. Oh, how I love to love Nadine.”

“It was getting harder to believe. And the wind blew hard. All night.”
I totally forgot but fucking love love love the detail that Flagg doesn’t have any lines on his hands.
