It's like clockwork. In his first term, Tru mp's tariff-based economic policy was so disastrous he had to use $28 billion in taxpayer money to bail out America's farmers. Now here we are again, right back in the same place. We learned nothing. www.cnn.com/2025/10/05/b...

My copy of PROCESSION MAGAZINE issue 10 arrived today! It includes an interview with me about MONUMENTS IN DARKNESS, my writing process, which writers inspire me, and more! It's print only, so if you're interested, I'll leave an order link in the comments.

Welcome back, ABBOTT ELEMENTARY!

Two dead in Manchester synagogue attack, with suspect shot dead by police Video from the scene, verified by the BBC, shows a man with items strapped around his waist. The attack happened on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

As I've mention before, antisemitic attacks always ramp up around the Jewish holidays, and they will only get worse as we approach the anniversary of the October 7th massacre.

Hopefully, this will indeed be the final step and then the settlements can be disbursed. (5/5)

This is how I found out that only two of my publishers officially registered my copyrights, which means only three of the 10 books Anthropic stole are included! (3/5)

I've seen several movies accompanied by a live performance of the score:

SUSPIRIA
PSYCHO
BLACK PANTHER
THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING
and now EVIL DEAD

I'd love to see more with films that have distinctive scores like PHANTASM and THE GODFATHER!
