Re: OP (Also, spoilers)

[(Anonymous)]

IMO, that is not why he was depressed. I don't know if you picked up on this, but Oscar Greenbriar, the 'psycho' uncle who owned the house before this family molested Terry, the father.

It is suggested that it's not his books not selling that's bothering him--although that's the red herring at first--but rather being back in that house where he was abused. Hints:

1) The abuse culminated in 1963, the year of JFK's assassination. His books deal with time traveling back to 1963 to stop some terrible thing, with the most recent book even going back to save himself. The basement has a letter from his father telling him good for working through his things, but the books themselves are trashy. The fathers portrait is kicked in.
2) There's a room in the basement in the dark with a child's toy.
3) Oscar was apparently penitent about something, closing his shop and even giving Terry the house.
4) The letter given by his employer admonishes him for his recent turn in reminiscing on his childhood.
5) The left side of the house he is drinking and feeling sad, and we're led to believe it's because his books aren't doing well, but they've been out of print for a decade. The right side of the house he's recovering--he's working through his issues with this outlet, spending more time with his wife.

It's not that he was terribly excited about this shitty little publisher picking him up.
