Be afeared! Be mightily afeared!

It should not be this motherfucking hard to get a vaccine. Pharmacy now needs prescription. Cone Health IS NOT COMFORTABLE prescribing a vaccine. So, I'm left with no means to get the vaccine. This is 100% at RFK Jr.'s feet. If you support this piece of shit, you are a piece of shit. End of story.

I figured I needed to holler about FUGUE DEVIL RESURGENCE (Black Raven Books 2022). It's available in ebook & paperback and contains a dozen of my scariest tales, including the novelette, "Fugue Devil," and its sequel, "Eye of the Devil." It'll scare you silly!

Closing Time at the Sunny-Side-Up

David Niall Wilson's CLOSING TIME AT THE SUNNY SIDE UP is a fast-paced story of the road, with depraved murderers, weird scientists, and dedicated lawmen entangled in overlapping webs of intrigue. I've read many of Dave's works, and I put this one at the top of the list.

Book Review: THE NIGHTMARE FRONTIER

A mighty kind review of THE NIGHTMARE FRONTIER by Carson Buckingham in Hellnotes. Now available in paperback from Crossroad Press.

Full review here: hellnotes.com/book-review-...

Ah, you make funny joke. Anyway, I have no time for morons, as yes, I have actual writing credits and real work to do. Enjoy your idiocy.

Of course it sounds like bullshit to an ignoramus who can't understand or articulate facts. Some writer.

Without one shred of evidence. Unlike you, I'm not advocating illegal orders by the President of the United States. Ever hear of posse comitatis? The protests were largely peaceful, with a few bad actors, until exacerbated by an up-and-coming dictator and his puppet masters.

A regular fascist twit, that one.

You are clearly very ignorant of what's actually happening and why. You're advocating blatantly illegal use of power. Fascism begins with people like you.

Received and replied — I'll see what I can do to help.

The House at Black Tooth Pond Amazon.com: The House at Black Tooth Pond: 9781637891773: Rainey, Stephen Mark: Books

I've had far more than customary feedback from readers wondering whether I might consider writing a sequel to THE HOUSE AT BLACK TOOTH POND. Well...guess what. I'm plotting it as we speak. I guess that's why I've been feeling creeped out for a few days...

The House at Black Tooth Pond Amazon.com: The House at Black Tooth Pond: 9781637891773: Rainey, Stephen Mark: Books

A highly valued reader informed me that The House at Black Tooth Pond was the horror novel he's been waiting 40 years to read. And now I may have a concussion because I tried to fit my head through the front door.

It's not that any of us hate one man more than we love our country, as that stupid, never-ending meme states; it's that we love our country enough to despise the man who's turned it from a shining beacon into a pariah nation before the rest of the civilized world.

Excellent news on the writing front, which I can't talk about yet, but it's certainly elevated my otherwise gloomy mood.
