This book had such an early Stephen King vibe. I loved horror as a kid and this one really brought me back. An evil man opens a model train store in an upstate NY town…and bad things happen. I had such a ood time reading this one.

If they didn‘t apparently they were going to cut at random (or force older scientists into retirement, one of the researchers my husband works with is older & currently on medical leave, he wonders if he‘ll be forced out).

Books & artist will always be considered a threat. We should gather and do a protest by going outside, finding a safe, legal place to sit, and read from dawn to dusk for a day. If anything, it will drive the suppressors crazy. Writers should come with typewrites or journals and artist with canvases.

Thank you, sweet friend. I smiled when I saw this was from you. I have something for you, but I am stuck home with pneumonia so will mail when better (whenever that is). I so look forward to reading this and I love our book friendship. 😘
