When anyone asks what’s wrong with my generation, gen X, I always tell them that we all read Stephen King when we were too young to read Stephen King…
It wasn't all bad! "The Reach" prepared me for end of life wirhout a medical safety net. Cap. Tripps prepped me for COVID. "The Mist" made me see the joy in sharing powdered donuts with strangers as a coping mechanism. "Christine" taught me abuse & bullying could always be worse.

"It" taught me the tragedy of untreated mental illness within the homeless clown community & the dangers of unsupervised children in groups. "The Shining" taught me about the professional stresses of authors.
