Caroline Bicks is the first scholar to be granted extended access by @StephenKing to his private archive.

We interviewed her about Monsters in the Archives: My Year of Fear with Stephen King (a masterclass, one of the best books I've read all year).

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

(I loved assembling this anthology. from the Ryder cover inward, sheer pleasure. especially including stories not usually associated with "gothic" by writers like Raymond Carver & Nicholson Baker.)

Went slightly overboard at the local book fair w/ @MiriamRicher (who practiced much more restraint than me).

The Straub & King books are replacement copies.
