This is Why I’ve Spent So Much of My Life Looking in Basements
Just unutterably cool, this. I’m not even sure I have all the words. Here’s one pic: Here‘s the whole page. I think I might be this Thomas Merrilyn, slightly reincarnated.

That I’d have missed without being passed the link on Twitter—thanks. This one’s over on Amazon UK, and . . . so cool, right up there with that Will Byrnes write-up on Goodreads. I’ll link it then screencap it in as well: https://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R30YK8VQ8QAAMD/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=0008182426&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=266239&store=books Also: so much thank you to everyone who thought to say something
Hey, look what’s sneaking onto the book tables in Australia here at the end of 2016: [ thanks to Emma Osborne for the snap ]
I know, I know: been a while since one of these, yes? Thus this one being a long scroll. But, I mean, I’ve been writing a novel, and being in California for ten days, and being some other places too. I seem to vaguely recall an injury as well. Anyway, none of that matters, because
The yellow book’s padded onto a few cool year-end lists, looks like. I’ll update this, should any more turn up. And, thank you thank you to everyone, for believing in werewolves. Me too.

Just wrapped the extras and okayed the cover and all the rest for the trade paperback of Mongrels, in January. So, seems a good time to stack all these in one place—way too tall a stack, I know. But it’s been a busy last few weeks, so I’ve just been letting them build and build.
Was so cool A) to get to intro it, and B) to get to SEE it on the big screen. I mean, was cool just even seeing it on the wall (I’m like Cher in Colorado, yes: just one name): [ That snap’s by Christopher Rosales ] And, yeah, that poster: I guess I see
Y’know? That last one of these, number twenty, I kind of ended it in a “so long farewell been fun see ya later”-way. But I was all mopey-goodbye way too early, turns out. I may keep doing these until the paperback hits in January, I mean. October’s for werewolves after all. Anyway/first, here’s the wolves
Wonder when, or if, I’ll ever stop seeing werewolf stuff everywhere? This is from the second episode of the second season of Scream Queens. Remember how Halloween night is the one night all the werewolves can run free, because no cop’s answering a call about “werewolves?” Mongrels isn’t the only story that knows that.
Which is pretty much what May was, when Mongrels came out. But this is September-land, man. The road, though, it’s a big long slip ‘n slide, isn’t it? You take that first step, then you just keep going and going. This is from the plenary address/discussion/interview at the Western Literature Association’s 2016 conference in Big
Thanks to my student from wayback Jo Anna Gaona Albiar for showing me this. Not only are pantyhose murder. So are many fashion accessories:
Twenty, man, wow. Thought this was a werewolf novel, but I think the book itself is a zombie: it keeps on going. Well, guess zombies don’t have the complete market on that: But that really belongs on the It Came from Del Rio page. This page? It’s all werewolves all the time: all day, every
Also, all the other months. But it’s in October that I’m getting to intro Wolfen, The Company of Wolves, and The Howling.

I think when you’re not on facebook all that terrible much—or maybe it’s this way for everyone?—when you do log on, the system serves up some of your old posts for your eyes only, kind of like giving you ideas for how a post works, I guess, or what counts as content, or perhaps it’s,
Nearly to twenty, here. Somehow/already/amazing/cool. Here’s all the Mongrels before: the Wolves of Yore one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen And, The Wolfen, man. I think The Wolfen wasn’t just the first werewolf novel I read, but one of the first novels I
An lo, did we come unto installment number eighteen already. And, let’s just do this to link to the others: Prior Wolves one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen Then let’s start in Johannesburg, South Africa: My kind of library display:
Third ep of season 3, a newly longhaired Clay and an about-to-shift teen werewolf:

Is seventeen a prime number? I can’t think of anything that divides happily into it, anyway. Well, except the sixteen before: I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII XIII XIV XV XVI And let’s start this time with a couple snapshots in words of Mongrels: And here’s the yellow
Actually, I wrote Mongrels (and the chapter this could pertain to) a couple of months before cueing this one up. However, Peter Beagle’s famous old story “Lila the Werewolf?” I definitely knew that one.

In Colorado, it’s all about the fourteeners. Here, we’re all about the sixteener—which this is, somehow, already, after all these months. So cool, all the werewolf stuff coming my way, all the Mongrels snapshots &etc happening still. All of everything, including all the previous installments, which are going to tax my Julius Caesar numbering: I II III
