Feel like I’m always talking about what I’ve seen and read, but never about what I WANT to see and read. So, this is that, though I’ve been so lost in World Fantasy reading and a not-announced (I don’t think) reading thing that most of what I want to read is already out (except John
Not talking this old book: But this cool B&N list, that I’m superproud to have a book on:

I’m thankful to the first Goosebumps movie for two things: 1) being a very fun movie that doesn’t insult its young target audience by making everything hunky-dory, and 2) without it, I’m not completely sure we get this adaptation of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. And, before I get further into this: I
I need to write this up formal somewhere (other than that Burnt Offerings intro), but until then, this is great:
Just had to watch and watch this for a piece I’m getting together. But, too, it’s always playing in my heart:
This arrow by mathematician and sculptor Kokichi Sugihara can't point left.

What are all the crocagator movies? Alligator, Primeval, Lake Placid. I keep hearing about Rogue, but can’t place it, though I’m fairly certain I saw it in the theater. Much like this afternoon’s Crawl. So, in short: it’s nothing but fun. Anybody see Hurricane Heist? It’s got that feel. Just, with monsters. So, with no
I’ve been there before, some three or four times, and it’s always been nothing but a ball, but being a GoH (thanks, Rose Fox!), that was completely different. Not only was my schedule super-super packed: But I of course had a handler, a chaperone, Nightwing Whiteshade, who . . . rememberer years and years back,
My phone and podcasts were fried in a gym the other day, so I dialed back to 2016, to Jordan Peele before Get Out hit, and took over the world. Very cool episode, as they all are, but what’s especially cool is, at about the 48-, 49-minute mark, Peele, maybe not even thinking he’d ever

Night of the Mannequins is in what feels like that unexplored space.
