My 2022
Was going to say this was the fastest of all the years, but, really, man, the last two or three have been like stepping on a slip-n-slide, then just trying to keep my balance somewhat, splashing into other countries (Dubai, France, Spain. was in a Iceland for a bit, I guess. missed Germany, but Italy’s
Couple-three cool things
One with a lot of covers, one with all the spines, and one with no spines but all the heart:
Recent stuff
With one (probably more? I’m not the most organized) missing: Predator: Eyes of the Demon. Oh, also missing: Marvel Voices: Heritage. And I guess Howl: an Indigenous Anthology of Wolves, Werewolves, and Rougarou (I forgot, put it on the shelf. but . . . I think I may have already put a snap of it
Library Journal
Was in California at a resort when I got notice that I was doing this photo shoot, and all I had were a mess of horror t-shirts, one random Johnny Cash jacket, and the hat that’s so junked up that I only wear it to the pool anymore. But? All worked out. Interview’s here: https://www.libraryjournal.com/story/LJ-Talks-to-Horror-Writer-Stephen-Graham-Jones-Don’t-Fear-the-Reaper
Levar Burton Reads
And, what he reads this time around is one my stories. Such an honor. He’s a hero: And, for a sample first:
2022’s soundtrack
I mean, for me. Started dialing up music videos last night about 1:30 in the morning, I guess. Then, just now, had the bright idea to pull my watch-history up, add them all, in the same order, to a playlist. Which I think I’ll now use to write a novel; I like this progression, these
Spotlit!
(though, if you haven’t read everything from Mongrels up to Chainsaw, then, beware spoilers . . . )
Pieces & Bits
Haven’t had time to take a peek at this, but . . . it’s a learning exercise the NYT did, I think? Based on or around that opinion piece I did? Maybe? Somebody tell me?
Thanks Sadie
And . . . did I already link/embed this? Thanks also to Sheena. A really cool walkthrough of some of my books and stories:
Memorial Ride Sampler
Check it: cool little flip book PDF for Memorial Ride (also here). Coming at you live from UNM in the land of October: [3d-flip-book mode=”fullscreen” id=”17483″][/3d-flip-book]
Some number of anthologies
Since I was updating everything else, I went ahead and stuffed what covers/links I could into the Anthologies-page here as well. That pages goes and goes and goes, man. I remember in grad school always being floored by how many stories Stephen Dixon had published—somewhere north of “300,” as I recall. I was at maybe
Best of 2019
Just like last year, I had this idea that doing a monthly post would make it a snap to figure out my best of the years: just scroll through, it’ll be obvious. I wish. Though it does make it easier to remember stuff from before summer, say. So, without further whatever, and by category, and
Once Bitten
Slaughter, D-A-D, Skid Row, Poison, Mötley Crüe, Warrant, Ratt, Faster Pussycat, Tesla, Kix, King Kobra, Trixter, Jackyl, Cinderella, Guns n’ Roses, Lita Ford, Bon Jovi, Vixen, Twisted Sister, Steel Dragon, Bang Tango, Quiet Riot, Def Leppard, LA Guns, Great White, Whitesnake—these are a few of my favorite things. Which I guess is just another way
Archives & Papers
Texas Tech Library’s got all my stuff as of about a year and a half ago. Looks to be catalogued, now:
Captain, My Captain
I’ve always been torn about who my favorite Star Trek captain might be—like Weird Al says, it’s a hard decision: But now, with this, I don’t know, there’s another contender: As you can tell from my recent swing through Texas, ketchup only is the way to go (didn’t really want the cheese, but he kept
New Truck
Well, not NEW-new—never had that kind—but new-to-me. And, too, the newest I’ve ever had. Before this, 1988 was as close to the present as I’d ever come with a truck. I tend to land in the late sixties, early seventies. But I recently sold all those old ones, had to face the fact that I
SGJ Society
Two words I don’t usually put together, true. More used to seeing my name plus “Come to the office” or “All you can eat” or, with impolitely unsubdued laughter, “Security deposit?” Nevertheless, this is a real live thing: Interview in there, updates, how-to, who-to, where-to, all kinds of stuff. Very cool. Who’d have ever thought,
