Notice how its the only copy? All the others on that table have small stacks. It's like someone got it off the shelves deeper into the shop and then their nerve failed them.

Not a big book reader so can you explain?

If you enjoyed the book, check out the album Haunted by Poe. Anyone with a functioning radio in the 90s may have heard Angry Johnny a time or ten but she's got some other good tracks too. Poe is the stage name of Anne Danielewski and, if the last name is familiar, that's because she's the House of Leaves author's sister.

Stephen King has written a lot of books, and a lot of shops promote those books far more than others.

This is just a nice way to give other authors a bit of promotion, I think even Stephen King himself wouldn’t be opposed to this.

I love the way Sir Terry Prachett wrote. In my opinion he is easily among the best authors.

But I like finding other authors that I don't know about. This is an issue in fantasy and scifi because there are so many bad ones, or weird ones like Michael Crichton, who penned some fantastic novels, but then went off the deep end and wrote an entire novel about how climate change wasn't real.

As such, a table like this is fantastic.

I don't think you're a good fit for a bookstore manager.

Is that you Stephen? I don't think it's going to impact your sales. You could take a shit on the side walk and it would make it to the top 20, and get it's own movie.
