New on DeathbedWriting.com, from Kevin Maher, (kevingeeksout) author of the book SANTA DOESN’T NEED YOUR HELP, (illustrated by @joedator ) comes:
“EVIL IS AFOOT or: Season’s Greetings from the Carsel Family”
I just clicked on an ad to buy a funny dinosaur T shirt and they wanted 35 bucks for it. That’s nuts.
I was like “Excuse me, I didn’t just attend the Funny Dinosaur Concert.”

Sam Sifton’s Thanksgiving: How to Make it Well is a good, quick read, with some nice philosophy about what the meal can mean, and good easy recipes. The Kill Shot is Pie. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/209904...
23.11.2025 01:45 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0When I saw the remake in 2004, I hated it, (except the opening which I loved.) I felt it took the one element that made the original a classic, the criticism of consumer culture, and just cut it. Recently I rewatched it, (without expecting Romero’s genius) and it was fine. Fun, even.

I wrote a new short story coming out next Monday.
It’s called THE TANTRUM.
It’s scary, and I think, pretty good.
