Talking Final Girls
With people who know, for TBRCon:
a sort of random stack of Buffalo Hunter Hunter write-ups and art and the like. just stuff I randomly ran into.
couple-three months’ worth of event recordings and podcasts and interviews and tidbits
Just, in trade paperback this time. Made #4 on the NYT list in hardcover/cloth, and now it’s 40 on USA Today! Those red edges are pretty cool. Well: Weasel Plume alive and running them, that’s the thing, right?
Man, a twelve-part review? I mean, really, less “review,” more . . . more “extended interaction with the novel, the characters, the world, the genre. With some wonderful little side rooms packed with trivia (as in: they call me out on “tresayle,” which is right. my only defense? I liked the way it sounded*). Anyway,
Where I was going to be, the weekend after this one: not there anymore, alas. Just random stuff pulling me elsewhere. This post is mostly for the dude I ran into in Boulder, on campus, the other day, whom I told I’d see him up there: Sorry, dude. Didn’t know I was lying. Anyway, I
Ten or fifteen posts from Bluesky that made me grin. Or, “let me grin?” Whatever the case, grinning was going on. Because of these posts.
Had a couple hours between other stuff, got this together—well, collated/half-remembered/synthesized my various answers I kept giving to the question about vampire traits in The Buffalo Hunter Hunter: (also available through Hot Topics>talking about)

Was my first time there, thanks to Titan. And thanks to my hero publicist there, Kabriya Coghlan, for making it all run so, so well. Guess I’ve been back nearly two weeks now? Something like that. Seems like I’ve done some trip since then, too. Anyway, talking this one, now. And what posts/pics I can
a six pack of books here, that go toward pushing back against bans, banning, and the losers that do that banning.
ten or so articles, reviews, columns and the like I thought worth saving—well, that I enjoyed enough to pass along.
Scrolling through my camera roll looking for a cool mouse I saw on a rack somewhere (the clicky kind, not the “eats all my cheese”-kind [related: I have no cheese]), having to get past all the UK shots, which I plan on doing a post about before too long, and . . . found this,
Anybody remember Taken (2002), that limited series Spielberg produced? Or was associated with somehow, it’s all kind of blurry now. Really cool and quite terrifying show, anyway. Reason I’m thinking of it’s that, in Disclosure Day, the aliens visit people by taking on the form of animals—really sort of nerve-wracking animals at that: the fox*
posting this from, as Dire Straits calls it, “London town”: Was thinking about doing some animal-specific version of these posts, so kept these a bit separate. Probably won’t, though. But . . . I might keep a little sub-section here sometimes?
