Bye Dick! I liked your book Blaze and your story The Long Walk. Thinner wasn't very good though. Hey, weren't you supposed to be the "writer" for Misery? Where did I read that?
Sorry, it is sad to see you go to the clearing at the end of the path, my friend. I especially loved Regulators and Thinner. You'll be sorely missed. Don't be afraid to tell Jimmy Hoffa to stop snoring so damn loudly too.

My favorite bands can kick your favorite bands' asses.
The horizon is right and motionless like the EKG of a dying woman.
R.I.P. Richard Bachman. I love your book, Thinner. I have not had the chance to read the rest.
RIP Ritchie, old boy. Glad they found that copy of Blaze among your personal effects!
