The Midnight Hour just hit 14 subscribers.

It may be a small achievement — but this was never about the numbers.

Though the start of this journey is incredibly modest, I will keep at it. Thank you for being here from the beginning. You’re part of something special.

Greetings @newyorker.com,
I bought a copy of your Century of Fiction collection and I love it so much that I’ve begun using it more than any other source on my literary analysis channel. I’ve tackled Updike, Cheever, Parker, Salinger, Nabokov, and more. Here’s my latest featuring Elizabeth Hardwick.
