So we're at 2000 or so. It's years since I first read the book, and years before the internet made everything easier to find. The sense of dread and nightmare it engendered has stuck with me.
I casually look for the collection of short stories in used book stores all around the country. My brother knows this. He also knows I check his room whenever we're back home just in case it's rematerialized from the Upside Down.
I never was able to find it to reread it, and though in 2017 I know it was probably pretty easy to dig up online, I never have. (It's like if you don't look under the bed, the monster you know is there isn't really there.)
So cut to Christmas morning: turns out good old TED, in 40 years of writing, has only really produced two novels in addition to his tiny handful of short stories.
And one of those novels is actually a 400-page version of the short story that had terrified my nightmares for years.
And because my brother is my brother, he found a copy. Probably special order from the hellmouth.pic.twitter.com/r6EBf32IhT
EPILOGUE: just found this random guy's account of stumbling upon the book and searching in vain for it again for years that mirrors my experience EXACTLY and am more than ever convinced it is at least a tiny bit possessed http://www.fantasy-matters.com/2011/10/appreciation-of-ted-kleins-events-at.html?m=1 …pic.twitter.com/BQSm1iklYx
(It really is astounding how much this person's experience with this story is my exact same experience)pic.twitter.com/MktpPQM2N9
(Also that author is a woman, not a man. Sorry!)
