Dear Mr. King,
Blaze is a very good book. I’ve only read the introduction by yourself, and the first chapter of the book, but I think I can safely say, it’s a good book. You’ve aged very well sir, and your last few books have been phenomenal. Though I will admit I have yet to read Lisey’s Story. I own it; I’ve just been putting it off. I apologize.
However I have one gripe with you, though it might not be a real gripe. I can’t be sure.
Richard Bachman is very talented. It’s a shame he’s dead. The only story of his that I didn’t love was Road Work. Rage and The Long Walk count among my favorite stories ever of all time. I’d even dare to say his Regulators was better than your Desperation.
I wish you, the fans, the people who discovered Bachman’s books were paying your finances, critics, and people who can read everywhere had done more for Mr. Bachman. Or maybe less. Again, I can’t be entirely sure.
Thank you for finding this new book though. That first chapter was a hell of treat. Seriously, it was very, very good. I’d be reading more right now, but I have to be leaving, and for some reason I thought it was of dire import to write this letter to you, which you might never see, which no one might ever see, because it’s sitting on the internet.
Sincerely,
Jeff
PS: Yes, I do understand how very Misery this whole letter is, but I assure, were I to kidnap you I wouldn’t be able to keep you alive and in seclusion. I live in a very small apartment in the city, and I have absolutely no nursing skills.
