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:
I love finding panels and pages and tricks and storytelling that only works on the comic book page, then throwing it up on the screen for my students. Panels and pages like these:
