Bookwolves

Which, I’ve probably used that subject line before in here. Bookwolves everywhere, yeah? Anyway, here’s some more:

Monstrous Friends

I answer a couple questions in here, about getting into anthologies. Or, maybe I answer one question for two questions’ worth? Something like that: http://horror.org/private/newsletter/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2019-March.pdf (just search my name, or, better: read it top to bottom, find me in the midst)

Letter to . . . second time around

That “Letter to a Just Starting-Out Indian Writer” piece I read first at . . . NALS, I think? in 2015 or so? Anyway, read it again at IAIA a year or so later, they Vimeo’d it, but then, these past few months, it had gotten behind a password wall. No longer: it’s free and

#ScreamOrder

Not the order to watch them in—chronological makes sense, there’s no skip ‘n pick Heather trilogy here—but from best on down, for me: Which I guess would be “Kevin Williamson order,” kind of? He is the one with the magic pen for this franchise. Anyway, when Scre4m came out, I wasn’t so hot on it,

This Week in Booklandia

Started the week out talking to Billy Stratton’s Native American Lit course (st DU) about Mongrels for . . . I guess it was nearly two hours. Two very cool hours, that I wish had been four: ( was possibly showing off the Turkish edition, yeah. both shots via Billy Stratton ) That class had

Yep

Have had this happen before. It’s freaky. Wasn’t on a grill but a pan. Snake came up high, and kind of struck in a blind, headless way. This would have been about 1989, though. Didn’t have a videocamera in my pocket.

Can’t Wait for This One

James Roday’s Gravy is one of the very, very good ones, I mean. Right up there with Murder Party, even. Fingers crossed this is more of the same:

Submitted for Your Approval

Very excited. What would really be cool was if this update found a way to do some version of “It’s a Good Life.” But, too, looks like there’s plenty of cool already going on:

Couple New Ones

One in-hand, one soon to be: the Guran (Mapping the Interior): https://www.amazon.com/Years-Best-Dark-Fantasy-Horror-ebook/dp/B07HGBQ33K/ the Boop (“Stands Twice and the Magpie Man”): https://www.amazon.com/Straight-Outta-Deadwood-David-Boop/dp/148148432X Too, I keep all these covers, most with links, over on the Anthos page. And, case you maybe missed them, the two just before this, which is the same thing: one in-(my)hand, one on

Bob Seger last night

The culmination of many years of wishing, for me. Seems it was about a year and a half, maybe two years ago that I was on the road somewhere and happened to actually READ one of my junk emails, which turned out to be about coming concerts in Denver, and: Bob Seger was coming to

Cars, Cars, Cars

This is my kind of post: All I’d add—well, not ‘all,’ but one I’d for-sure add would be that monster’d out El Camino from Little Evil: Also, I guess, no surprise that El Caminos lodge in the old memory banks, seeing as how that’s the key car in Mongrels: Also, now that I’m halfway thinking

FF via WFR

That original Fantastic Four cover? It’s now Weird Fiction Review #9, with Caitlín Kiernan, Victor LaValle, Laird Barron, and, flaming-on, me:

LotR, D&D style

Ridiculous: solely because of this fun thread, I suspect, this weekend while I was laid up with a three-day fever and a cough I thought would hollow me out completely, leave nothing but a husk of a dude behind, I ended up putting in the extended edition of Fellowship. Still good as ever (though, first

Heaven Can Wait

When you core down deep enough into Demon Theory, this is what you find for a beating heart:

Best Reads from Lately

Because I likely won’t remember to give attribution for each link, I’ll just say it here: probably three-quarters of these paleo type links are from a friend, Joe Lansdale (and all the Apple ones are from my wife). Just, don’t want to pretend I have my thumb on all the good pulses. Rather, I know
