    Thanks for the review, Bev.  For the first time I can recall, there have been no early reviews from the trade press (Publishers Weekly, etc.), so I have nothing to contribute from that angle.

    That is strange. The only advanced review I saw was Bill Sheehan's in Washington Post. I wonder why the trades didn't cover it.

    It's been a while since I got a photo credit in a major city newspaper!

    Supply issues seem to be affecting a lot of Canada. Every retailer I check is still waiting for their shipment. Same at my local library.

    From Brian Keene's newsletter:

    I worked on INVISBLE MONSTERS and PROJECT CASTLE (and a lot of people have figured out what the latter is, and Rich Chizmar confirmed it during a YouTube Livestream, so the heck with it — let’s dispense with the codename. PROJECT CASTLE is actually a graphic novel adaptation of Stephen King and Richard Chizmar’s GWENDY’S BUTTON BOX. However, it goes beyond the novella and explores the other residents and denizens of Castle Rock, and what they were up to during the time period of the novella. So, for example, while Cujo, or Deputy Andy Clutterbuck, or Frank Dodd didn’t appear in the book, they could very well appear in the graphic novel. Basically, I’ve been allowed to run riot all over Castle Rock in the 1970s, and it has been a lot of fun. We’re still a while from publication (I’m on the final draft now) and I’ll stay mum about the artist and the rest of the team (because Rich didn’t speak about any of that on the livestream).

    I know Richard and Steve had their researchers (robin being one) but, I recommend Chris Hadfield’s Masterclass.

    I know they are done with the book, but I would hope they are not done learning.  

    Just a bit of insider knowledge I’ve learned out of  the gate — all possible candidates have to go through training obviously, but did you know they are called ASsCAns? Chris loves using ASsCans and he laughs. (astronaut candidates) 🤣 i did not know that.

    I just started this and I can tell it’s going to be terrific. Frank would love it.
