“Well I lost. But I guess it doesn’t matter. Nobody wants me to win anyway, so even if I did it wouldn’t mean anything. Now go on to the next chapter and forget about me. You probably would anyway so it’s easier to tell you to do it sooner than later.”
Spelling nitpick. While he does sometimes go by “Uncle Steve”, when using his full first name it’s “Stephen” instead. And I too loved the “It” joke. One of my first adult books I read as a kid was his Christine novel.

Scary thing is, that vampire babysitter series sounds totally plausible.

I lost it at “It”. The movie scared me so much as a child. Don’t know if the book would have been as scary.

The creatures in Dr. Seuss and H.P. Lovecraft are pretty similar, so the books are just as good for small children, right?
