The Line-Up
Honored to have made this Covid-19 list by Ellen Datlow:
werewolves
Mongrels Q&A
Amazing that I’m so lucky as to still be doing these FOUR YEARS after Mongrels came out, yes? And, the junkified study that’s my backdrop? It’s stacks of comic books and a stray basketball and a Galaga machine and 8-tracks and horror DVDs and a deer
Best Reads from Lately
Once again, I let this get to be an unwieldy enough stack of links/reads that to slow down and make them into a pretty and proper list would keep me from revising the novel I’m revising. So, in all their likely awkwardness, with apologies for some embedding, some being URLS, some shuddering into some completely
Best of 2019 so far: the January post
( which is IN 2020, but about this December we just had . . . )
All the Pretty Lists
No time to thumbnail/preview them (running out the door, in Houston, it’s raining instead of snowing and it’s December, feels like the world’s upside down, and I’m late to a thing to boot…), but here’s some recent ones I caught on Twitter that I’m super honored to have sneaked onto: http://raforallhorror.blogspot.com/2019/12/beckys-top-20-horror-for-libraries-of.html https://nightworms.com/blogs/news/the-night-worms-team-favorite-books-of-2019 https://letsgetgalactic.com/2019/12/24/my-most-anticipated-reads-of-2020/ Speaking of

More Mestizos
The actual cover of the Spanish version of Mongrels. This is just how they look in my head. I think that might actually be a painted-over snapshot of Darren, dragging in at first light:
Lost & Kind of Found?
Did a search yesterday for something I’d maybe said in an interview. Don’t remember my search turns, but I found a lot of stuff I don’t know for sure if it’s archived/linked here or not. So, on the chance it’s not—all stuff I’m in: “Five Native American Authors You Must Read“ “Six Metafictional Horror Books
Wolfen / Projection Booth
One of the all-time good times, for me: talking to really smart, with-it people about a werewolf movie? Or, about if it is even IS a werewolf movie? Couldn’t have been better. Like the song says, I wouldn’t have missed it for the world:

Glad to participate in a tropisode. Hope to never be part of any tropicide.

Dead Hearts
Been waiting to see this for five years. I mean, it’s probably been watchable for four years and eleven months of those five years, but, anyway, I’m JUST NOW watching this. And it’s amazing: Dead Hearts from stephen martin on Vimeo.
