Effortless Malaise

“The best modern vampire story ever.”

Coffin Moon’s not even a tenth of what Salem’s Lot is, but holy shit THANK YOU. Wow.

Woo hoo!

#NowWatching John Carpenter’s ridiculously preposterous yet endlessly watchable PRINCE OF DARKNESS. Come for the laughable exposition, stay for the moody soundtrack and Donald Pleasence Donald Pleasence-ing all over the place. Jameson Parker’s moustache is also worth the watch. WONDERFUL!

COFFIN MOON available now, everywhere. Thanks!

This book is a jet-black 1975 Plymouth Duster with a 360 V8 and a 4-barrel carb gunning in your TBR pile, just waiting for you ease into the driver’s seat and lay tracks into the night. Could not put it down! Greasy, bleak, and fevered, but somehow also wears its heart on its sleeve.

honestly, this is the only way to go with another X-Men movie youtu.be/UngE0qn3VRY?...

thanks, man! I enjoy your posts!

That’s great to hear! Every book is a gem!

image that shares information relaated to “You beat your record reading streak” showing 144 weeks in a row and 1,000 days in a row of reading.

Almost 3 years ago, I decided to get back into reading on a regular basis and resolved to read every day for a month. I just cracked 1,000 consecutive days and more than 270 books and novellas read since that resolution.

I don’t normally make a fuss but I am really proud of myself!

Me when Rene Auberjonois is in tonight's murder she wrote

If you haven’t read Stephen Graham Jones’ The Buffalo Hunter Hunter or I Was a Teenage Slasher, either or both will fit the bill nicely!

They are both on my TBR now!

can’t wait to read your back catalog!

so totally deserved!

the book jacket for Coffin Moon by Keith Rosson, featuring a red and black background with the title ina semi-gothic font. The illustration features a winding, two-lane road in the bottom third with a human skull that has vampiric, elongated incisors “eating” the road

#Finished Coffin Moon by Keith Rosson @keithrosson.bsky.social and you’ve gotta drop whatever you’re doing and give this an October read. A high-test, real-deal, unrelenting grinder that evokes the best of the mass-market paperbacks of my ill-spent youth. FANTASTIC!

Bond would have lost a generation of viewers without the constant repeat of unedited versions For Your Eyes Only and Octopussy on HBO circa 1983-1986

When Hong Kong Cinema Ruled the World An entire generation of classics from this golden age of action cinema is finally being restored and rereleased in the U.S.

Some of the greatest and craziest films ever made are finally coming back into circulation. I wrote about the golden age of Hong Kong action cinema. www.vulture.com/article/when...

Sausages and cheese, German supermarket

the scenario we all feared

There’s hope after all! Fragile psyche restored!

Absolutely need to know there is a new T R Napper @trnapper.bsky.social novel in the offing. Like, a huge degree of my overall mental stability hinges on another dose of his high-octane, cyber-noir, glitchy future with the formica countertops and unadvised implants. Cruel to leave a guy hanging.

a picture of a red restaurant table with a wooden plate with a stone molcajete stuffed to the brim with crab legs, mussels in the shell, fried tilapia, octopus, scallops, and clams in a spicy tomato broth. Butterflied shrimp hang from the rim of the molcajete and there is sliced crust bread on a plate just off to the side.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

book jacket for All the Fiends of Hell by Adam L.G. Nevill, featuring a black background and an oblong, demonesque red head with an open mounth of white fangs and a featurless face except for a giant, gaping hope where the eyes and nose should be. Jagged spikes ring the sides of the head.

#JustFinished All the Fiends of Hell by Adam L.G. Nevill. Harrowing survival story in the midst of either an alien invasion or breach of a cosmic horror-esque dimension. Compelling characters and a truly gripping, propulsive grind to survive an insane apocalypse.
