I will give you 2 prizes. The first will be a hug transmitted through Fairy-Mail direct from me. The second will be as follows. Tomorrow we will remove every single item from your house and replace it with an EXACT replica. Enjoy all of your new stuff! ---

I think I would’ve preferred that, if only because we would have been spared the third one. ---

Hee hee hee… nice prizes. This of course begs a list of Stephen King spoilers (which would be enormous; a complete set of his paperbacks would sink an aircraft carrier). But I’d feel SO guilty… I know!- I’ll use vague spoilers… ones that can cover huge sections of the King oeuvere! - An unusually large quantity of weird shit happens in Castle Rock. - He’s really the devil! - He’s really the devil!.. sort of. He could just be a minion. - The abused housewife, after undergoing heaps o’ torment, gets bittersweet revenge. - The plucky band of kids confront their shared source of fear, and also Do a Little Growing Up. - Emotionally tormented geeks should not be trusted. ---
