Later

Stephen King
Jonathan JanzJonathan Janz

@DarrenTannehill @StephenKing Is that addressed to me or Stephen King? I assume King, so I’ll just say if you haven’t read him in decades, you’ve missed some of the best writing in his career. Try REVIVAL, LATER, the MR. MERCEDES trilogy, and DUMA KEY for starters.

In case you missed this, my friend @vlatinalondon's new book (ALIENS: VASQUEZ) is now available. I haven't read it yet, but V's work is fantastic, and I can't wait to read her take on this character. https://t.co/kj8DFAxzx0

If you're craving dimensional characters and love being immersed in a vivid world on the page, grab the first two books in @faye_snowden's amazing series (A KILLING FIRE and A KILLING RAIN). They're fantastic. https://t.co/Ux9i3RO7Rw

Sometimes a book has a delayed effect on me. I'll read it, dig it, and not really understand until later how much it impacted me. @StephenKing's DUMA KEY is one of those. Another is Michael McDowell's THE ELEMENTALS. Both books grow in my brain with each passing year. https://t.co/R0fBVm0qb8

I knew Peter Straub's GHOST STORY had influenced me, but it wasn't until this morning, as I've looked back through it, that I realized the novel's fingerprints are all over my work.
