Continue reading →: Ghosts of Mars (2001)
Beginning as I mean to go on… It is de rigueur to call Ghosts of Mars John Carpenter’s worst movie. But I’m here to tell you that it’s just not so. Ghosts of Mars isn’t his best movie, by any means. Nor in the top five. In fact, it’s probably in the bottom five.…

I really enjoy talking about movies. (I know, right? Stop the presses!) Not writing reviews of them, per se, though I’ve done my share of that over the years too. Just sort of reacting to them, talking them over afterward, telling people who haven’t seen them about how awesome or…

Continue reading →: This Was 2012
So, it’s now been 2013 for a little over twelve hours here. I slept most of those, and spent the others watching Castle, though we did ring in the new year last night with a handful of friends from college, all of whom are now paired up, even though at least…

Since it’s become a cliche by now, I’ll try to refrain from opening this post with an apology directed at the Internet in general for my long absences of late. Suffice to say that I’ve been incredibly busy of late, and that sadly shows no signs of abating, at least…

Continue reading →: Hellboy in Hell #1
You know I’ve been busy when it takes me over a week to post about this: Hellboy in Hell, as anyone reading this probably already knows, marks Mike Mignola’s first time drawing Hellboy in way too long. It also marks an entirely new chapter in Hellboy’s existence as a character,…

Another big announcement to start off the week right. This is one that’s been in the wings for a little while now, but only just came together today. Valancourt Books, a fine (and, surprisingly, local) purveyor of rare Gothic and other excellent literature, just acquired the rights to reissue J.B. Priestley’s…

Continue reading →: “The present’s not that pleasant, just a lot of things to do.”
In spite of what the quote in the subject line there would imply, the present is actually pretty pleasant indeed, but the “lot of things to do” part is true enough. The two books that have been on their way out are both out now. The official release date for Fungi…

Continue reading →: Alfred Hitchcock Marathon Wrap-Up
After some setbacks, it looks like we managed to finish our Alfred Hitchcock marathon within the confines of the month of November after all, coming in, guns blazing to a three-movie pile up over the long Thanksgiving weekend. We still haven’t made it out to see Sacha Gervasi’s Hitchcock. We still hope…

We’re into the home stretch of our November Alfred Hitchcock marathon here at the Grey household. As I type this, we’re gearing up to watch Psycho. Which means that I should have a marathon wrap-up post coming to you very soon. When I started this project, I’d hoped to have…

Continue reading →: Happy Birthday, William Hope Hodgson!
For yesterday’s Next Big Thing post, I focused mainly on Never Bet the Devil & Other Warnings, but today I’m going to talk a little about my other book that’s coming out in just a couple of weeks, Fungi. I needed to talk about it anyway, to remind everyone that the pre-sale…
