Bestsellasaurus Rex
by George Beahm

The late Ray Rexer, a hard Rocker who published Castle Schlock -- a hilarious parody of Castle Rock, which at times with its sycophantic reviews was a ripe target for lampooning -- said it all in his poem, an ode to the original Rock:

It's been around for five full years
with stories and reviews,
and screaming editorials
and horrifying news.
For five full years it crammed me full
of Stephen King-ish stuff,
then Mr. Spruce, The Editor,
proclaimed, "Enough's enough!"
