I've posted this before, but I think it bears repeating.
For those who have finished reading NOS4A2...

Did you really? In the hardcover edition I read (not sure of other paper editions or Kindle) there is actually more to the story if you read the "About the typeface" (or something along those lines) section at the very end. :devil:

Yes, it's by Joe, Doc Creed, and it's in 20th Century Ghosts. I personally don't remember much about it at all, but have the overall sensation that it was...odd.

Yes, it is an odd story. A loner becomes friends with a "bubble boy." I started off thinking it was strange but pretty much every emotion that a person can have went through me in those 20 or so pages.

Wow, I just read "Pop Art" a few hours ago and came on here to see if anyone else liked it as much as me. It may be the best short story I've ever read! Like no joke.
I read 20th Century Ghosts a few months ago (great collection of stories!). Pop Art was excellent - definitely the most unique short story I've ever read! ;-D

Yes, it is by JH. It's in his short story collection "20th Century Ghosts." If you like SK and short stories in general then definitely pick this one up.
Oh I am so excited then. Someone on the board just sent me a copy of this. I'll read it next. Am loving Voluntary Committal. It's the only one I've read so far. But I just started.
