Of Robot Dogs, & More
This is out before too long. Proud to have a piece in it:
Five-Minute Zombies
note:Â when I’m listing those 4 things early in, it should be flesh-eating, infectiousness, decay, and HEAD SHOTS. got myself confused by saying ‘infectiousness’ and ‘contagion’ both, oops. but, this is what happens when I write with my mouth, not my pen . . . for zombies in TEN minutes, I did this a longtimeback (and
October events
October, man, it’s a busy time for horror writers. Wouldn’t have it any other way: And, if lists and links are easier: http://www.milehicon.org https://permianbasinwritersworkshop.org https://www.atlasobscura.com/events/defy-your-demons https://blog.frontrange.edu/2018/10/01/get-your-halloween-on-paranormal-fiction-authors-to-discuss-their-craft-at-frcc/ Oh, and I’m a doing a zombie talk as well, and I’m at Southern Alabama on the 29th, reading and visiting: Hope to see you at one of these.
Best of 2018 so far—the October roundup
Late late late. I feel like the white rabbit. My excuse? Wrapping a big project, putting all my words there. But, c’mon, dude, this isn’t even words, this is just pictures:
It’s Almost October . . .
I’m still working on my October TBR, and I’m finally reading this collection. 😍 I actually have a few short story collections lined up for October. I love them. I’ve been wanting to read this one for a long time. 🎃 @SGJ72 pic.twitter.com/aLVrTX9pn8 — Mindi Snyder (@gowsy33) September 23, 2018
Eddie Dial
How’d I miss this the first time through Monk? I mean, MY Eddie Dial . . . I guess I wrote him into The Bird is Gone in 01, 02, and he hit the shelves 03-ish. This—from the fourth season first ep, I think (the one with Jason Alexander)—has to be 06 or so, by
Coolest News Since the Last Coolest News
So excited for this. Every day more excellent and vital and compelling stuff is turning up. Well, that makes it sound passive. Dedicated scientists are FINDING this stuff more and more lately. And, I mean, look at this: symbols and art from 100,000 years ago. Boggles my mind in the best way:
Talking Football
I couldn’t have answered any of these either. Who knows football stuff, right? I like that they all avoided this category until they couldn’t, too:
Coming Soon to a Theater Near Me…
Surely, if the world’s at all a fair and just place. Which? Mandy‘s already somehow not playing close enough for me to get to, so who knows. But, here’s three that I’m pretty much holding my breath for right now: I missing any? I bet I am. But I can only contain so much excitement, too.
Litsy and ZBO
This may be my favorite of all the Zombie Bake-Off Reviews. It’s my favorite from eight years after it came out, for sure:
Such a cool animation
Maybe this is my new goal: to someday have the scenes of my life turn into each other in this cool a way:
Mongrels in the Classroom
Part I don’t know what. But I talk to a lot of classes about this yellow book. Thanks, Jerome: https://twitter.com/Bearnabas/status/1037133787921113088
Scary sounds
Was listening to a podcast interview . . . I think maybe it was Mick Garris’s? Maybe? Anyway, the guy being interviewed said that when he was a kid and knew a scary part of the movie was coming, he wouldn’t cover his eyes, he’d cover his ears. Makes a lot of sense, especially hearing
Four years, man
Doesn’t feel like it. To me these stories are stil churning in my head. Thanks, Richard.Â
