Severance

Saturday, September 29th, 2007

Movies like this just make me break out my lists, look for a place to wedge this movie, so it can be that much closer to my heart. Which, I know it’s got to be an almost-empty state­ment by now, but, using Feast as my touch­stone, and acknowl­edg­ing that Leslie Ver­non was the best since, […]

Conditional Axe

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Jeff Sto­lar­cyk over at Con­di­tional Axe has some bad news: Trick R’ Treat, much like All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, has been bumped to some indef­i­nite time later. Very sad. Now Saw 4’ll have to do. But I trust it will, too. A very tight series so far, I think. And, just back from […]

Yellow Medicine Review

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

Last time I was talk­ing about this, the excel­lent cover wasn’t posted yet. It is now. Click­able. Rea­son I’m not in the listed con­trib­u­tors is that I edited it.

Darkscribe Magazine

Monday, September 24th, 2007

Dark­scribe. You’ve got to say it with that per­fect pause, like in CSNY’s “Dark Star.” And this place is just as cool. Just all kinds of good­ness, and, as well as the site’s put together, I’d guess it’s going to be around a while. Any­way, today’s the drop date for it. Too, I’ve got a […]

The Empire Never Died

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

What I scrib­bled down in my trusty note­book*, moments after fin­ish­ing all of INLAND EMPIRE when I really only meant to watch thirty min­utes or so: A girl’s got­ten preg­nant and not by the guy she’s with. She’s haunted by ‘Krimp’ — a ‘crimp’ in the umbil­i­cal cord — and by a screw­driver to the stomach, […]

Pubs update, etc

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

That Grasslimb with my “Code” in it is out now. Too, just got a story picked up by Door­ways. Very cool place. And a cou­ple of really short pieces, “‘Tis the Sea­son” and “Ani­mals I’ve Known” are up soon in Pas­sages North, and “The Mourn­ers” should be in Fourth River any moment here. And, while […]

Two new books

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

Well, ‘new,’ I don’t know — I’m just see­ing them any­way. And one I’ve been wait­ing for, I don’t know, feels like ever, but a few months anyway:
