Just finished reading "If It Bleeds" from @stephenking.bsky.social . Loved it, especially the last story, 'Rat'. Be sure to read it!

“The writer is faced with at least seven choices of word. Talented ones make the right choices with almost no consideration…

…You don’t lose the words, you lose the ability to choose the correct words… You’re like a car with a powerful engine and a broken transmission.”
— If It Bleeds, Stephen King

“It’s liking that got lost, and love without liking is like a chain with a manacle at each end.”

— If It Bleeds, Stephen King
