This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don’t know. His books aren’t that great. His movie adaptations are just okay.

He has some early work that was good and got a lot of attention. It was back in the prime days of horror novels. Right place right time. That’s all.

With the right amount of cocaine I think you or I could probably give him a run for his money

Is using cocaine the writing equivalent of the programmer's Ballmer Peak?

I think, in his case, the more he did the more he produced.

However, he’s very public about having no recollection or writing many of his books.

I wish I could say “damn, I don’t ever remember making that app. It made a million you say? Wow”
