Favorite Horror Movies
By category, sub-genre, branch, type—whatever’s under “Horror” and’s on the movie shelf, and not getting too granular. But, “15,” right? I know. I tried to keep it to a properly spooky “13,” but things happen. Though, if you take #11 and #15 out (which would shatter me), as they’re not really ‘categories’—”Scariest,” “Perfect”—then this does
Busiek on making comics
His stuff’s always good to read. Guess this is one reason why: the attention, the do-overs, the insistence on getting it right. We should all be so conscientious, and so articulate about the process. And, I think you have to click on this (the bird-icon works, the arrow-out works) to go to Twitter to read the
Moonboys
New story up over at Lightspeed. Flash fiction, with Stefan Rudnicki on the audio. And, pretty cool: the Author Spotlight interview is, I’m pretty sure, longer than the story itself. First time that’s happened, I think. So, strap in. Next destination: the moon.
Slasherific
Okay, this is probably A) expensive, B) delicate (maybe?), and C) something that requires long-ish nails-as-canvas in the first place, but still, this is glorious enough and glamorous enough and wonderful cool amazing enough that that might all be worth it:
Q&A’ing
Just, cleaning up my laptop and found this/below stashed in a tmp directory. It’s echo-ey, sounds like I’m on a stage, maybe? File’s called “GT,” if that means anything. Anyway, what it looks to be: somebody asking me questions about being Blackfeet, writing horror. Or . . . it’s the Q&A from the audience, after
The Wayback Machine
This makes my heart beat so hard. I’m never going to get to sleep now. Thanks to Joe Lansdale for the link (and for so many more like it—he’s the only person I know as into all this as I am):

Theo Van Alst in Boulder
Was a great event last night for Theo and Sacred Smokes—for us, really. Packed house, good words, and a lot of laughing.Â
12 Native Authors
It’s a better title than Agatha Christie foisted on us, yes? (which—I do love that novel. without it, do we even have the slasher?) https://www.bookish.com/articles/native-american-heritage-month-books/

The Ghosts of October
October was packed full of good times. I don’t think this is all of them, but it’s all of them I can dig up goods for—or, that I can remember to dig up pics and links for. Started out giving a zombie lecture to an auditorium of people at CU: Then I was at the
The Haunting of Hill House
Mike Flanagan’s Netflix series, I mean, not Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel*—though? I do kind of wonder if a whole generation will find a re-issue of The Haunting of Hill House, maybe even with a cover from this television series, and consider it this weird old-timey novelization that doesn’t have Theo being a sister, that puts

Proud honored thrilled to be special guesting it then and there: https://www.wfc2020.org/guests
Video Palace
How about instead of an actual write-up for Shudder’s Video Palace podcast series—limited series, I guess—I’ll just do a cloud-gallery of associated stuff. Wish I could make it swirl:
Best couple of stories I’ve read lately
“J.J. FTW” at Yale Review “Greased Lightning” at Pidgeonholes Well, I mean, aside from pretty much ever story in Cat Valente’s The Future is Blue. Especially and forever “Planet Lion.” That story’s right up there with Peter Watts’ “The Things,” for me.Â
