A&P & Me
Not going to say I cut my teeth on this story, quite. What I cut my teeth on, short-fiction-wise, would be Ellen Datlow’s selections for OMNI, way back when. Those stories didn’t just sustain me, they molded me. Recently, when OMNI started all over again, I was maybe going to be in issue #2, even,
Best Reads from Lately
Some slipped through this time—forgot to copy the URLs across, just closed-tab and went on to the next thing. So: blip, gone. But the thing about the internet is that there’s always more. Anyway, here’s what I’ve been into last few . . . I don’t know, ‘days’ for sure, but also ‘weeks,’ and probably
Werewolves out in the World, part 500?
Remember that old series I did in 2016, when Mongrels first came out? This goes there: Oh, and, of course: I can just embed them all here, looks like: Werewolves Out in the World, part:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26
Back Home in Texas
Or, close to home, anyway: Canyon, WTAMU, courtesy CSAW. And I was also lucky enough to get to scoot out to Hereford, talk to the high schoolers there. Was cool. Broke down once in Hereford for a couple days, had three dollars and a bag of Cheetos, so bought a loaf of bread, palmed some
at Alamo Drafthouse Houston!
Showing two of my favorite-favorite horror movies. No: two of my favorite of ALL movies ever: oh, wait, I never posted anything about this AFTER it happened. anyway, this is me in JULY, finally finding a couple of old snaps on my camera roll. and a movie of the cool Alamo Draft House carpet. But,
AHS 1984
Oh, man. Guess I’m going to be tuning in to American Horror Story again. For some reason I fell away after the first season. Maybe I was writing a novel or something, who knows. Then I never got back on that crazy train. Though I was there for Scream Queens, which was at least six
Instagram Nation
I’m not on it, so miss a lot I’m sure, have to get sent screencaps instead. This one from David Tromblay.
Summer Scares Interview
Maybe . . . #1? I’d guess so. Or maybe it’ll be one summerlong interview. Definitely good for that. Or, for more questions like this:
Bookwolves
Which, I’ve probably used that subject line before in here. Bookwolves everywhere, yeah? Anyway, here’s some more:
Imagine Pleasant Nonsense
I got no business sharing Instagram stuff, as I don’t move around in there, but man, this is the best strip I’ve found in a while: found it on Twitter:
Monstrous Friends
I answer a couple questions in here, about getting into anthologies. Or, maybe I answer one question for two questions’ worth? Something like that: http://horror.org/private/newsletter/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/2019-March.pdf (just search my name, or, better: read it top to bottom, find me in the midst)
Letter to . . . second time around
That “Letter to a Just Starting-Out Indian Writer” piece I read first at . . . NALS, I think? in 2015 or so? Anyway, read it again at IAIA a year or so later, they Vimeo’d it, but then, these past few months, it had gotten behind a password wall. No longer: it’s free and
Caribbean Cabal Charitable Writers Retreat
Coming in 2020 (which, surely everyone will be writing as “20/20,” yes?).
#ScreamOrder
Not the order to watch them in—chronological makes sense, there’s no skip ‘n pick Heather trilogy here—but from best on down, for me: Which I guess would be “Kevin Williamson order,” kind of? He is the one with the magic pen for this franchise. Anyway, when Scre4m came out, I wasn’t so hot on it,
