has anyone ever read Ghost Story by Peter Straub? I'm willing to bet no. But you should, because it's amazing. King has nothing on Straub.

anyway, i just got a friend to finally tell her story and let me write it up in the mag i work for! no ghosts, but the secretive backstory and betrayal is all there.

she wants to tell it, and we've known each other since we were teenagers. honestly, this is goig to be huge.

what the fuck have you done with your lives lately?!

(actually, she's very hesitant, because it implicates members of her family in vehicular homicide, two doctors in a corrupt sideline in drug-trafficking, and various incestuous liasons, both consentual and illegal. still, i thik i can talk her round. it'd be a fucking great movie!)

hmm. she's never going to agree with this, is she. fuck.
