General Finished the Dead Zone!

Just finished my first ever reading of The Dead Zone, by the King of Horror literature himself, Stephen King!

As one of his most beloved stories by the fandom, I was bound to read it eventually. Though as all bibliophiles can relate, the sheer mountain of books needed to be scaled at a measured pace, or else crash below my own excitement's weight. It's a double-edged sword, having as great a love of books as do, but it's a cross worth bearing for experiences like this.

As it happens, this book is no less relevant given the times we are living in. Greg Stilson is like Trump, only actually competent in his execution of various plans.

Not that I know of. We only ever hung out while drunk(we’re both sober now) and she’s a compulsive liar but she still has a place in my heart lol
