Trying to imagine Spares as a movie, especially The Gap, and I have a feeling it would have led to some “the book was way better” arguments on the way out of the theater. Glad you got your house, though!

Oh good GRIEF this is chilling! It’s going to haunt me. Love the story behind the story, too.

Spares was my “gateway drug” to your writing. They say never to judge a book by the cover but I couldn’t resist. The neon orange paperback with the tiny, shiny embossed black hands on the front drew me in!

I’ve never read this version though - thank you for sharing it!

You're welcome — and I'm very glad that SPARES opened a door!
