My name is Stephen Graham Jones, and I very much approve. Thanks, @saturdaystarlit, @AvengedHeart54, and @theneverseenkid. One more that I’m stumbling on here in December:
Chainsaw ads I been stumbling on
and, of course, saving: Though, were I a better marketer, I guess I’d have remembered to actually copy the links out and include them here. Oh well. I’m sure they link to My Heart is a Chainsaw somewhere . . .
Stu’s house

The Kingman cometh
I’m always dialing up King interviews &etc—so much to learn, and he’s the dude to be learning it from—but sometimes I only got a couple minutes. This fits that pocket perfectly:
Not for Nothing: the unexpurgated text at last
Got this headset over in birdland: Paged through my Not for Nothing, then dug up my old file, and . . . yep. But? Next/soon printing of Not for Nothing will have that chapter restored.
