The Overlook was my shortest story but it will be followed by
my longest. The Brass Verdict, which I am just finishing,
weighs in at 525 pages, at least a hundred pages longer than
anything else I've written. It's weird how it worked out that
way, but I think each story is the length that it
demanded.
