I just heard @StephenKing on his new book YOU LIKE IT DARKER… He said he originally thought PET SEMATARY would be too dark, but apparently you can’t be too gross for Americans. Yep! I will probably never have more readers than I did for “Would Your Dog Eat You If You Died?” 🤷🏼♀️

Thanks @zeitzoff and @BostonJoan for fascinating conversations with me about how social media is shaping the war in Ukraine.
