Am I trying to watch my bangs grow...?

That last name is spelled Papademetropoulos -- I'm only being picky because that's my late maternal grandmother's maiden name! :-)

Do readers think the hardcover version of this book has the power to REANIMATE CORPSES AND TURN THEM INTO FLESH-EATING MUMMIES? Probably not, but they're welcome to buy one (a book, not a corpse) and give it a try!

I write stories, books, and news releases for a living, so it's hard to enjoy watching TV shows and movies. I can tell how they will end. I once watched an episode of a suspense show and within the first ten minutes, I figured out that the killer was the nurse -- a man wearing drag as a disguise.

This Halloween, rediscover the Cthulhu Mythos.

THE DOOMSDAY THAW
by Mark McLaughlin and Michael Sheehan, Jr.

Just 99 cents (US) on Kindle. Also available on Kindle Unlimited.
US: www.amazon.com/dp/B0DMYN21MB/
UK: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DMYN21MB/
A Lovecraftian short story that takes you to the end of the world – and beyond.

I watched the 1976 movie, THE GHOST GALLEON, on Tubi. The zombie corpses of the Blind Dead, the Knights Templar, stalk their victims -- groovy fashion models -- aboard a ghost ship! Scooby and his gang should be part of this caper. The Blind Dead look like rejected Skekis from THE DARK CRYSTAL.

What!? They’re doing a remake of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE and I didn’t get the part of SKELETOR! :-O

Today, August 20, is H.P. Lovecraft’s birthday!
