As I write, I’ll add my posts here. One day there will be a more sensible order to all this, but for today just bear with me.
Misery & the Illusionary Wasteland
Steven King, huh? What a guy. What a prolific author. What a monolithic cultural touchstone. A household name and a bastion of creativity. Once you pick up a Steven King book, they say, you can’t put it down. First you have to pick up a Steven King book though. I’ll admit it. I’ve never read…
DC’s Harley Quinn: A Plot-Driven Comedy
I don’t like superhero stuff.
