it was important for me to call this out. King, though I love him, has been getting away with nakedly hateful fatphobia for half a century now and the majority of readers seem to have handwaved it, but I can't. (a shout out to @megelison.bsky.social, though, who's been banging this drum for years)
And King has never created a fat character he didn’t insist on treating as a disgusting spectacle. In “Other Worlds Than These,” there’s a particularly insulting episode concerning a family of fat people; King seems to take perverse pleasure in commenting on their “elephantine thighs” and “huge rolls of flesh.” Jack speculates that the family’s front porch “must have been specially reinforced to take the combined weight of such behemoths,” and when the daughter attempts to rape and kill him in his bed that night, she “lands on him like a truck falling off a jack,” breaking the bed frame. I wonder if it has ever occurred to King that fat people read his books, too.

I took a criminology class in undergrad and one thing that stuck with me is: punishment acts as a deterrent based on how likely it is, not how severe it is. If we (US society) want our legal system to deter sexual violence we are using it in precisely the wrong way.

It's weird to live in a society where people say "we can't abolish prisons because then rapists would be walking free" but also "we can't send rapists to prison, that would ruin their lives"

It's one thing when a novel has unnecessarily lavish descriptions of how gross a fat person's body is, but in a novella? This book is 30,000 words long and you just spend 150 of them describing some woman's belly in leggings?! Prioritize, bitch

I'm reading The Lesser Dead by Christopher Buehlman (it slaps) and then I think I'm going to reread The Gilda Stories. Horror is for all year but I do feel that October is especially suitable for vampires. What are your fave vampire books?

Stephen Graham Jones is an incredible and prolific short story writer. If you've only read his novels, you're missing out. "Father, Son, Holy Rabbit" lives deep under my skin. (No, I can't remember which collection it's from so you'll just have to go read all of them.)

Seriously, if you start defending X genre being churned out by AI because you look down on X genre, don't be surprised when other people start defending *a genre you actually like* being sloppified. AI-written books are NEVER ACCEPTABLE.
