Today is the first day of the best 31 days of the whole, entire year. And if I’m not quite ready for it, that doesn’t mean that I’m any less excited to see it arrive. My October plans are currently in a state of some flux. I had originally intended…

There’s been a lot of stuff happening that relates in some way to books that I’ve been meaning to mention but, frankly, just haven’t had the time. Still don’t, really, but I’m going to try to wedge as much of it as I can conveniently remember in here. Bear with…

Continue reading →: Hausu & Others
When asked what the scariest movie I’ve ever seen is, I usually say Audition. When asked about the weirdest, I usually say Hausu. I first saw Hausu last year when I was looking for out-of-the-way stuff for the international horror film column that I was then writing for Innsmouth Free Press. I wasn’t…

Today I’m celebrating the birthday of H.P. Lovecraft by watching The Call of Cthulhu and reading “The Picture in the House,” along with whatever else comes to hand. I might also watch some of Bride of Re-Animator or play a bit of Night of the Cephalopods! If you’re looking for something to commemorate…

I haven’t had a lot of time to post lately, but I wrote something up when this went badly, so I figure it’s only fair to write a little something when it gets better. Yesterday the Readercon convention committee released a statement that is, for my money, a pretty good…

Here’s Nick Mamatas’s takedown of said verdict. And here’s Readercon’s statement about why they decided to completely drop every possible ball in this situation. I think…

I saw The Dark Knight Rises this weekend, but I’m not going to talk about that. Odds are you saw it too, and have your own opinions, and if you didn’t then you’re probably one of the people threatening violent death upon anyone who spoils it for you, so I’ll just…

Well, it’s been close to a month. So what’s been going on? Well, quite a lot, but not much that actually bears talking about. I was going to come at you with some links to a bunch of the movie trailers I’ve been watching and enjoying lately, and I may…

So I’m back from outer space from a week-and-change sabbatical from work and the Internet. June 2nd marked my ten-year wedding anniversary, and my lovely wife and I had company in the form of a couple of our best and oldest friends, Reyna and Gavin, down from Minnesota to help us…

Continue reading →: What’s Happening
The month of May, which is only half done, has already been a busy one for me. I’ve been doing edits on the stories for Fungi, and various other things have kept me running as well. Last weekend I took a couple of days off and went on a trip with…
