Stephen King Writes Intro For Nat Cassidy’s Story Collection Literary horror giant Stephen King rarely writes full introductions for contemporary books. Nat Cassidy's 'I Know a Place' is the rare exception to the rule.

I'm so grateful to @forbes.com and @joshuahweiss.bsky.social for helping me and @shortwavebooks.bsky.social break a little news . . .

And, of course, I'm beyond grateful to @stephenking.bsky.social. But that's really been true for quite some time.

A large, and interestingly shaped, double villa in the Dowanhill area of Glasgow. The brattishing (decorative ironwork on the top of the roof) is a particularly nice feature.

The love of my life passed away two years ago. He was taken too soon. While it’s been nice living near the beach, my heart is in a lakeview log cabin in the mountains where I was a lot happier. I look forward to living there year-round.

To better days. 🍷

One of my favorite Otto Penzler stories is that when Lawrence of Arabia came out he went to the theater to see it and found himself sitting next to Salvador Dali, so he got Dali to sign his program

When I was six I hid inside a stage between our school gym and the lunchroom during recess. I had no friends, so I read books. I then started doing this all the time, one I read was Clive Barker β€œThief of Always”. I did this until I got in trouble. It’s a fond memory. #booksky #memories

Had a short story accepted this morning. It marks the return of my character Tod Towski who I first wrote about 40 years ago at school.

Which makes it the longest running detective series in history with the biggest break?
