A Very Spooky Substack

I’ve gone and done something very new and a little scary and started a Substack.

Thank you everyone on WordPress who has followed and supported me through the years. It really has been wonderful. Your encouragement and feedback has been invaluable and I feel I’ve grown so much as a writer being part of this community. But it felt time to tip my toe into something a little different.

If, for whateve

J.S. Collyer and 44 other people liked Melissa's review of The Shining (The Shining, #1): "I hated this book. And I'm saying this as a person who has spent most of this year reading, listening to, and watching adaptations of Stephen King's work. I really, truly, hated this book. The whole thing was just unrelentingly dull from first to last" Read more of this review »

J.S.’s Quotes

“People like to say, ‘War is hell.’ Well, that saying’s true. I’ve seen it. But the saying’s also bullshit, because it ignores a truth that’s bigger – life is hell. Life is hell, Honey, and war just attracts people who’ve learned to chase the flames a little.”
― Eric Robert Nolan, The Dogs Don't Bark In Brooklyn Any More
