“You should read ELEVATOR PITCH by Linwood Barclay as soon as possible. It's one hell of a suspense novel.”
“The best short story I read in 2018 Easy. "You Are Released," by Joe Hill. You can find it in FLIGHT OR FRIGHT. And by the way, Joe's NOS4A2 is on AMC this summer. It will, as they say, cool your spine.”
