Willie the Weirdo: New King short story in McSweeney's (Spring? 2022)

Apparently, the Overlook Connection have sent about 300 copies recently, so it should arrive very "soon"

Strange that Amazon don’t have any copies…

You mean ready to ship? Because they say preorder on their website?

I personnally wouldnt be surprised that the publisher put forward their small and independant bookstores / partners before sending copies to Amazon
I doubt that they rely heavily on Amazon, except maybe for this title

Yeah, smaller booksellers have shipped it and Amazon doesn't even have it yet. I guess they would have printed and sent out all at the same time? Not hold off on Amazon for a month. Seams strange…

Lilja

So... anybody got it?

Yes, got it from a Swedish online bookstore.

If anybody needs a copy, I have a couple of extras. $20.00 plus shipping. Message me. -Kerry

Anyone read this one yet?

Yeah -- I read it in French last year! And the English version recently.

Spoiler:

Shades of Gramma crossed with Apt Pupil.

Yeap. I liked it!

Yes, both french and english version
Somehow it made me think a lot about a 2020/2021 spanish horror movie

Dont click if you dont want to know what movie I am talking about, because it kind of says a lot about the movie










SPOILER =

Ah! I just finished this and I thought it was written in a remedial or staggered way, thanks for the info about the French part, it makes sense now. Most have been a translation thing.

When I first read it, it made me think of a spanish horror movie I had seen not long before :
