Misery Loves Company - a photo on Flickriver

            It was a romance that caught many off-guard. Him, a young hardcover. Released just a few weeks ago and already reaching the fifth highest sales rank for a novel on Amazon.com. Her, a mass-market paperback. She was a major success in her day, even spent some time in Hollywood, but, with her latest printing some eight years ago, she is definitely the older woman. 

He lives alone on a crowded Popular Fiction shelf, sometimes visited by his older brother and sister. She lives in Thrillers/Horrors, surrounded by her extended family.

It's not clear how they met, exactly. Some say a common friend of theirs, a humor book, set them up on a blind date, thinking they might find they had more in common than just scary looking author photos. Others say she picked him up at the coffee bar, taking one look at him and saying "Nice twist."

One thing that is clear, though, is that, no matter how it started... these two are very much in love.

Misery loves Company.
And Company adores his Misery.

--Taken on the shelves of a Borders in San Jose. Concept by me, actual photo by Aileen. You have no idea how hard it was to find a fresh copy of Misery for this
