Best Reads from Lately
A lot of articles and columns and blogs and the like which only go to together in my click-history. But? I liked them enough to save them, share them (“foist them?”).
Blue Butterfly Land
some few (well: many) bluesky posts &etc (VERY “etc”) I probably stumbled on whilst standing in a boarding line somewhere in the lower 48 over the last couple-three weeks.
Chainsaw Awards
Was pretty cool, out in Oakland, to tune in AMC+ from a hotel room to watch Fangoria’s award show. So well-done—in spite of me being there, and NOT being any kind of actor. Anyway, just a few seconds of it, as everyone should go dial it up themselves:
Good Morning, America
That’s my comma, messing everything up. It’s what I do. Anyway, I now know someone who was on that show! Victor and Jennifer! Anyway, cool week: started on NPR, ended up on GMA. was supposed to be on NAC as well—Native America Calling—but wound up stuck in a dentist chair long enough to A) not
The Road to Off the Rez
Cool series of write-ups. Comprehensive.

Road Stories
My favorite kind of story. Well, this and the slasher. Which is probably why I’ll never not be falling for Joy Ride. I believe it’s also available as a podcast, wherever you get your podcasts. Well, within reason, I suppose?
News? News? What news?
There’s nothing to see here, nothing to glean, nothing to sneak out, nothing being leaked—nothing at all, really. Except, of course, that we should all be watching The Lowdown. Nothing about vampires, though. Why would there be? C’mon.
SFF Addicts
Of which I’m now one. But, always have been, too—especially when it’s got that all-important “H” at the end of those initials:
VE Schwab!
Such an honor to be on her podcast. Only met her A) on the page, and B) once in DC, but hope to see her again and again, out in the world, and on all the bookshelves:
Off the Rez: first couple days
Well, I say “first couple,” but I’ve been on the road since Wednesday, been signing stacks of them to the horizon since Thursday. But, it only officially went live yesterday. Here it is in the big main display in the ground-floor lobby of Simon & Schuster—such an honor to be there: While a lot of
Just Before It Goes Live

British Fantasy Award
man, floored, surprised, honored for The Buffalo Hunter Hunter to have won the August Derleth fAward or Best Horror Novel at the British Fantasy Awards. Here’s my Titan editor George Sandison holding it:
