Hi Alasdair It does look interesting. I see that it's free right now on Kindle. I will pick up the ebook version there and read it as soon as I have a chance - probably later this month or possibly earlier November since I have a few other books ahead of it on my list. Thanks for reaching out!

Richard Quist @rmquist.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Hi Alasdair - I do. I've enjoyed fantasy, along with sci-fi, horror & thrillers for almost as long as I've been reading.

Not only is @almakatsu.bsky.social "interested" in capturing this, she succeeds! She captures it, puts it into a glass display case and places it front and center so that anyone with eyes to see can recognize the horror we face. But is anyone smart enough to pay attention? #booksy #horror

True confession: I've been a @stephenking.bsky.social fan for almost 50 years & get his books upon release, as I did with BLACK HOUSE in 2001. I don't know how this happened, but even though I've had the book for 25 years, I think this was the VERY FIRST TIME I've read it!

Finished BLACK HOUSE by @stephenking.bsky.social and Peter Straub just in time to be ready for next week's release of OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE. It's a fantastic successor to THE TALISMAN and every bit as good! Spoiler-free review: www.pagesfromthemist.com/2026/09/revi... #booksky #horror

The first one was entertaining at least, although I don't think any of the "kids" at Rydell High were younger than their mid-twenties at best. The 2nd, as is often true, was nothing more than a money grab

On Sept 11, 2024 I wrote the following after seeing a number of eloquent tributes commemorating the anniversary of the horrific attacks of 9/11. I'm not eloquent, but this had been bouncing around my head that day. #UnitedWeStand

On Sept 11, 2024 I wrote May The Towers Stand after seeing a number of eloquent tributes commemorating the anniversary of the horrific attacks of 9/11. I'm not eloquent, but this had been bouncing around my head that day and I thought I'd share it once again. #september11

A background image of a United States flag with the words of a poem superimposed on it. The poem, MAY THE TOWERS STAND, was written by Richard Quist on Sept 11, 2024. The text of the poem reads:
MAY THE TOWERS STAND

Do you remember how you felt, the day the Towers fell?
The dreadful fear, astonishment, the tolling of the bell?
Somehow we came together, we were united, standing strong.
And vowed to help each other move
beyond this wretched wrong.

What we didn't count on, what we never planned,
Were personalities and politics, replacing United We Stand.
Instead of each and everyone, supporting one another,
We found ourselves separating
"Our Side" from “The Others”.

Where once we would disagree with passion and respect,
Thoughtful, civil discourse fell to violence and neglect.
Perhaps it's time to change our path, to take a different tack.
Care and open-mindedness,
in place of anger and attack.

Perhaps today will be the day, we make a solemn vow,
To set aside our differences, and stand together now.
The day we pledge to one another, all divisiveness be banned.
Then in our dreams, our souls, our world,
The Towers yet may stand.

-- Richard Quist, 2024--
