Here, have something adorable this morning.

I just read Kant’s quote “not every extravagance of opinion deserves the trouble of a careful refutation.” and sweet fuck the man would absolutely hate the Internet.

Tina and I visited the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Libray this morning. I got type in a replica of Vonnegut’s Barnstable, Massachusetts office.

Conservative talking heads: The new Superman movie is too woke about immigrants and is clearly an unfair critique of Trump's immigration policies. Superman was never meant to be that political.

January, 2026: in a bookstore near you: from James Aquilone & Monstrous Books: The paperback edition of "Kolchak Eras", collecting prose stories (including my "Wolf's Clothing" in which Carl hunts the Georgia Werewolf) covering Carl's life.

As Carl said: "Kolchak's coming back in style!"

That’s why they’re fake.

I taught @tcboyle.com’s “Greasy Lake” to my ENGL 1102 class a few weeks ago, and showed the kids this picture. They asked if I hoped to be that cool when I was in my seventies.

I said I’d be happy if I were half that cool.

Happy Towel Day!

RIP Norm…

I hope everybody knows your name there and they’ve saved you a corner stool.

Started a new story this week: “Dragon Country,” a rural fantasy ( as opposed to urban fantasy) retelling of Robert Penn Warren’s poem of the same name.

This is the third project I’m working at the same time, something I’ve never done before.

and now this, my attempt at what I call rural fantasy (as opposed to urban fantasy) and prose adaptation to a Robert Penn Warren poem: 2/2

I’m doing a thing I've never done before: working on three stories at one time. "Good Night, Sweet Prince," my hardboiled retelling of Hamlet; "A Graveyard of the Dead," a sequel to the Count Orlok, PI, story from the Nosferatu Unbound anthology, 1/2

I never dreamed either of them would be such dumbasses, though….

Happy Tax Day to those who celebrate.

Reading this now, it is fantastic!

Doctor’s Office music playing classic rock and easy listening. Not gonna lie: “Mr. Bojangles” may be the saddest song of the seventies. Followed by almost anything by Gordon Lightfoot.

Nowadays, my debts bled me like I would a back-alley tough.

I paid the light bill and the phone. Neither was overdue, but it made me feel industrious.

I was sitting at my desk looking at the balance of my checkbook. Business had been slow, and I was about to have to dip into my not inconsiderable meagre savings. Time was I had but to snap & my seneschal would scratch out a promissory note for anything, and I’d never feel the bite. 2/3
