Should I read your essay before or after I read the book? I just got a copy the other day. So it's serendipity.

cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social•25 days ago

Ooh, nice! I generally say read books first, but, here, where I'm assuming you already know the story, I think either way works fine.

Such an incredible piece, Cynthia, so wonderful to have you over at NightTide!

You had it worse than I did, but so much of this is familiar; your words have resurrected the crushing desperation of 80s female adolescence most vividly. I also started reading King as a pre-teen.

The intersection of his fat phobia with Hollywood’s fat erasure is a whole ’nother essay.

Firstly: this is really good, Cynthia.

Secondly: thanks for calling out the fatphobia in adaptations!

Thirdly: this is really good, Cynthia.

Awesome; thank you! I'm at gomezcentral (at) gmail.

Wonderful, thanks! Hoping to email you shortly (right now it'll mostly be along the lines of, this is what the pitch looks like and are you OK with me mentioning it as one of the planned reprints - I'm still shopping it around & will hope to open to originals later.)
