Started the week out talking to Billy Stratton’s Native American Lit course (st DU) about Mongrels for . . . I guess it was nearly two hours. Two very cool hours, that I wish had been four: ( was possibly showing off the Turkish edition, yeah. both shots via Billy Stratton ) That class had […]
Have had this happen before. It’s freaky. Wasn’t on a grill but a pan. Snake came up high, and kind of struck in a blind, headless way. This would have been about 1989, though. Didn’t have a videocamera in my pocket.
James Roday’s Gravy is one of the very, very good ones, I mean. Right up there with Murder Party, even. Fingers crossed this is more of the same:
Very excited. What would really be cool was if this update found a way to do some version of “It’s a Good Life.” But, too, looks like there’s plenty of cool already going on:
One in-hand, one soon to be: the Guran (Mapping the Interior): https://www.amazon.com/Years-Best-Dark-Fantasy-Horror-ebook/dp/B07HGBQ33K/ the Boop (“Stands Twice and the Magpie Man”): https://www.amazon.com/Straight-Outta-Deadwood-David-Boop/dp/148148432X Too, I keep all these covers, most with links, over on the Anthos page. And, case you maybe missed them, the two just before this, which is the same thing: one in-(my)hand, one on
The culmination of many years of wishing, for me. Seems it was about a year and a half, maybe two years ago that I was on the road somewhere and happened to actually READ one of my junk emails, which turned out to be about coming concerts in Denver, and: Bob Seger was coming to
This is my kind of post: All I’d add—well, not ‘all,’ but one I’d for-sure add would be that monster’d out El Camino from Little Evil: Also, I guess, no surprise that El Caminos lodge in the old memory banks, seeing as how that’s the key car in Mongrels: Also, now that I’m halfway thinking
That original Fantastic Four cover? It’s now Weird Fiction Review #9, with CaitlÃn Kiernan, Victor LaValle, Laird Barron, and, flaming-on, me:
Ridiculous: solely because of this fun thread, I suspect, this weekend while I was laid up with a three-day fever and a cough I thought would hollow me out completely, leave nothing but a husk of a dude behind, I ended up putting in the extended edition of Fellowship. Still good as ever (though, first
When you core down deep enough into Demon Theory, this is what you find for a beating heart:
Because I likely won’t remember to give attribution for each link, I’ll just say it here: probably three-quarters of these paleo type links are from a friend, Joe Lansdale (and all the Apple ones are from my wife). Just, don’t want to pretend I have my thumb on all the good pulses. Rather, I know
Of course I have slightly different choices/emphases—that’s part of the fun of making lists: they’re always unique to you, and always and definitely “right”—but, man, I really dig the stills they cycled through for this: As for my, say, top THREE, it’d be more like, in this order from left to right (though it may
Usually don’t put words in these, but this is the first for the year, and this year’s going to look different. Not just the running title (different titles make them easier to search), but how movie and tv heavy these’ll all likely be for at least the first half of the year. Because? Reading for
Oh, man, this thing I’m writing, it’s one word away from clicking over into official novel land. And it’s almost two-thirds done, maybe, hopefully: Would jam through to the end in a few days, but I got a script-thing and a story on February deadline, and, I mean, February is coming up pretty fast .
Needed to find a story for somebody, made a wrong click, stumbled into a dead link, and found that, over the last three or four months, man, a lot of those story links have quit going anywhere good. Apologies for that. I miss “Bestiary” being out there, readable. And, goodbye to “Hemingway Hills in the
Which, before I get into it, let me say: I’m the last dude who should ever do a how-to on anything, except maybe writing a novel or a story. But maybe not even that. However, got one of those 3/4 scale 1-Up Galaga machines for Christmas, and of course love love love it. However? I’m
The “Though it hasn’t yet posted a profit” part is maybe the best, here, though “electronic mail” and “cellular phone” are pretty fun too: Crazy, too, remembering how revolutionary this was, once upon a time. The world was changing with each word he said, yes? Too, of course, Bowie saw it all coming:
I mean, really, except for the contour of the land and the vivid green everywhere and the way the people wear their jeans and boots, the fifth season of Monk pretty much nailed where I grew up:
