That's right, you heard me.
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction
just published an unprompted review* of INKED in their column,
Books to Look For.
Now, this magazine has been around for millions and billions of years, having been founded alllll the way back in 1949. They were also the original publisher of Stephen King's
Dark Tower,
which helped skyrocket him to his current pillar of greatness
.
How does this make the two of you besties?
You might be wondering.
Thank you so much for asking; I will tell you.
Be forewarned, this is where the math gets a little tricky, but I'll do my best to lay it out step by step:
If you take 75 - the number of years The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction has been around for, multiplied by the 5
Dark Tower
stories that were originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, then divide by 76 (Stephen King's age as of today), then take the square root of that product and subtract 5.1112781 (for reasons that go without saying), and
then
raise it to the power of 8 (the number of books in the completed
Dark Tower
series, you get 8,357,135.
Which, when written digitally, spells out:
Or, "BESTIES".
As you can clearly see, the math is ironclad and incontrovertible and DEFINTELY doesn't need any checking by, you know, actual mathematicians:
___________
((√((2024-1949) x 5) ÷ 76)-5.1112781)^8 = 8,357,135
(And yes, I definitely wrote out that equation perfectly, so don't you dare @ me on #MathTok and embarrass yourself!)
So there you have it; Stephen King and I, having both been mentioned in the same magazine, are officially besties. I'll let you all know when our upcoming collaborative novel will be released!!🤩 (Hopefully it won't be too scary since I'm kind of a baby but I'm sure he'd be okay with taking the back seat on the plot and swapping out psychopathic clowns for hunky incubi.)
*Fantasy and Science Fiction Review:
Apparently it will be published in the Summer 2024 issue, which I shall be laminating and framing and - if the mortuary allows for it - taking to my grave!
Oh and PS, the proof for the
Revamped Lightning Conjurer Complete Series Omnibus
just arrived and it is sexy AF! 🤩
