Twilight,
I’m super happy that you enjoyed it. I’d perhaps like to call it a second best case scenario. Personally, I always found The End of the Whole Mess to be my favorite ending to one of his stories. Those last two pages...
*this is where I shudder, but you obviously can’t see that, so there*
Anyways, I’d be more than happy to lend you more of his books, although, I do have some Poe and Lovecraft in my collection as well. Those stories were written long before Stephen King was even born, so they may be a little easier for you to understand, but they were undeniably huge inspirations for King. I have a couple collections of both their works I can send you.
Of course, if you still have questions, don’t hesitate to ask me, and I can work on the ones you just sent me.
Sorry Spike, better luck next time.
Toby
P.S. I have my trip to the comic store scheduled. I shouldn’t forget this time. See you after class.
