Confession time
I spent some years in the  . . .  90s, I think it was, confusing Rick Baker and Robert Bakker. One’s werewolves, one’s dinosaurs, but both are associated with movies. Anyway, some very cool old stuff, here:
Horror Comics Wrap-Up
Or, intro? Anyway, I had 750 words to sum up horror comics for NPR, since they kept coming up when we were curating the 100 Horror list. Was cool, trying to make everything fit.Â
Goats and Crabs
Hey, it’s that runaway goat I was writing about it in “Exodus” (check #5 there, say), lo those many years ago: https://nypost.com/2018/08/09/rogue-goat-may-have-helped-dozens-of-farm-animals-escape/
Scary Bike Rides
Of all the stories I’ve done, this is the one that still gets to me on the trail. Really? Other day I’m riding this corridor in Boulder with a tall fence on one side, a concrete wall on the other, so: no exits. It goes about . . . three quarters of a mile. I’m
Nuh Uh
Watching Jeepers Creepers last night, had to capture this (will embed the tweet so as to let Twitter host the file): I can watch these kinds of cerebral interchanges for hours and hours. I never can quite win them, though pic.twitter.com/dEFPvJsh1t — Stephen Graham Jones (@SGJ72) August 8, 2018
Some Gospel Here
When @Benjamin_Percy is constructing a comic story, he approaches it like a math problem. pic.twitter.com/eR2Ac717x2 — SYFY (@SYFY) August 6, 2018 this ‘breakdancing in a straitjacket’ he’s talking about via Terrance Hayes is a much better way of saying what I’m always trying to say—also with dancing: give me a whole warehouse to do my
Best of the Best
Sounds like a boxing movie. Anyway, cool starred Publisher’s Weekly review—nice words for “Chapter Six.” Click there, or, I mean, it’s so short, here:

The Ultimate Showdown of . . . Horror
Seriously, this is one of the top best most amazing coolest wow slasher things I’ve seen. Can’t get enough:
Pure Prairie Dog
Well, my story from Gamut, “The God of Low Things,” reprinted in this month’s The Dark. August 2018
Name these critters
Because I can’t. I mean, the this one‘s built like a moose, but it’s colored like a paint horse—a shetland, maybe, or a wild horse with a winter coat: It’s definitely not a horse, though. Look at those hind legs. And this one‘s . . . maybe a white raccoon? The legendary ghost coon? Whatever
Old Dreams I Still Have
Living and dying by Magnum PI growing up, I of course fell head over heels for this color scheme: However, helicopters being far from any reality I knew, and trucks being ALL of my reality, I of course, then, wanted a truck with that color scheme, as Ford was doing in the late seventies: Is
Clarion West
Anybody needs me next summer roundabout the end of June, I’m up in Seattle, teaching at Clarion West for the . . . let me see, let me see: third time : Announcing the Clarion West Summer Workshop instructors for 2019
World Fantasy Awards
Wow, Mapping the Interior‘s a finalist. So cool: https://www.tor.com/2018/07/25/2018-world-fantasy-award-finalists/
My Kind of Party
That being Buster’s ‘Welcome home from jail!’ party from ep.5 of the new/current season of Arrested Development, where all the food is limited (“limited”) by his unadventurous palate:
a Pre-Shark Week Listicle, with Teeth
Reading David James Keaton anywhere is always a good time, but especially at LitReactor. Cool to have a shark book on this list: https://litreactor.com/columns/the-top-ten-shark-books-that-are-in-my-house-just-in-time-for-shark-week
