I guess this stuff was amazing if you found it in the back of Penthouse knockoffs like Cavalier in the 70s.

Reading it now, it all seems like every story I read in college creative writing class, with Outer Limits twists.


Man talks to therapist about a monster who's been after him for years.

"The therapist is going to be the monster. The therapist is going to be the monster. The therapist is going to be the monster. Oh hey, he was!"


A young man buys flowers and skips along a street whistling that they're for his girl. Onlookers smile at young love.

"The girl is going to be dead and he's a psycho. The girl is going to be dead and he's a psycho. The girl is going to be dead and he's a psycho. Aaaaand she's dead and he's a psycho."



Got 100 pages into The Gunslinger. Is he basing all his books now on the RANDALL FLAGG EXPANDED UNIVERSE?
