“God took her from me on the day of her first communion, don’t you see? He waited until then to teach me that children pay for the sins of their parents.” Is there anything quite so devastating as the concept of original sin? The idea that we’re damned at conception before we’ve had a chance […]

In 2009, Stephen King asked his fans what they’d rather get first — a sequel to The Shining or a new Dark Tower book. They voted for Shining sequel, but the Dark Tower book came first anyway.
