In 1977, Stephen King (writing under his pseudonym Richard Bachman) published a novel called Rage, which told the story of an angry kid who shot his algebra teacher and took his classmates hostage. Throughout the 1980s and into the '90s, a handful of school shootings roughly followed this formula--violence directed at teachers and classrooms taken hostage by teenagers, who were later discovered to be fans of the novel. After a 1997 school shooting in Paducah, Kentucky (whose perpetrator had a copy of Rage in his locker), King asked his publisher "to take the damn thing out of print."

Being an author is a lonely job and pets are a source of joy in my life. I am ready with a Horror boxed set for Christmas. I am getting a few reviews from https://usabookreviewers.com/christmas-gift for my 3 book set and will also line up Bookbub promotion along with a few other sites. Last Christmas was great for sales and I am hoping for better sales this time..
