Back in the early 1980s (I think it was), in a fanzine (fantasy or sci-fi - and aren't they all the same...really....when you think about it? Try thinking about it), I read a fictitious review of a new Stephen King book that was ONLY reviews. Of course, it was all made up (you know: fantasy or Sci-Fi - but it's all the same thing. Right?) and very, very funny. At that time,
Stephen King plugs, blurbs, and blubbers were all over the place. I wish I had that fictitious review of that non-existent book. Does anyone have a link?
You couldn't open one indecent horror novel without encountering a Stephen King blurb.
How many have heard this, or a variant thereof:
A book so scary, I couldn't let go. (Excised from the rest of that imaginary quote is this:
Even when I went to the bathroom, that damned book was still in the hand I use. Now, the real horror begins!)
