A Novel About Writing a Novel About A Murderer

This week we’re joined by a special guest Danelle who brought along their pick: Billy Summers by Stephen King. On the surface, it’s the story of a hitman taking on “one last job,” but underneath lies a layered tale of morality, trauma, and unexpected connections. Together we talk about King’s sharp twist on the assassin archetype, the surprising depth of his main character, and the way this story blurs the lines between violence and vulnerability.
