Third ep of season 3, a newly longhaired Clay and an about-to-shift teen werewolf:

Art based on Mongrels, by the talented and cool Jolyon Yates:

For more Mongrels-y art, here’s the click.

Is seventeen a prime number? I can’t think of anything that divides happily into it, anyway. Well, except the sixteen before:

And let’s start this time with a couple snapshots in words of Mongrels:

And here’s the yellow book in my kind-of homeland of Lubbock, Texas. Cool to be up there still with Keene and Hill and Hendrix:

And, wow, thank you, John:

Happy to come in behind Bird Box:

&nb…

Cool. Or, I could just say: TVTropes.

Actually, I wrote Mongrels (and the chapter this could pertain to) a couple of months before cueing this one up. However, Peter Beagle’s famous old story “Lila the Werewolf?” I definitely knew that one.

Check here for the first installment of these origin stories. Not sure there’ll be another. Could be, as I remember / think of.

In Colorado, it’s all about the fourteeners. Here, we’re all about the sixteener—which this is, somehow, already, after all these months. So cool, all the werewolf stuff coming my way, all the Mongrels snapshots &etc happening still. All of everything, including all the previous installments, which are going to tax my Julius Caesar numbering: 

• I
• II
• III
• IV
• V
• VI
• VII
• VIII
• IX
• X
• XI
• XII
• XIII
• XIV
• XV

And . . . let’s start with Litsy, the best book-place ever:

Really, I think I have a stash of pics from another Mongrels thing, but now I can’t remember where. But I know I have these two anyway, as they’re from the last couple days.

First was up in Fort Collins, with HEX-author Thomas Olde Heuvelt. And, Olde’s not a middle name, that’s just the first part of his last name. He’s a cool dude, smart guy, excellent horror writer.

We talked about where horror comes from, the kind of genesis for/of each of our bo…

Thinking I should have been somehow tagging these snapshots through all fourteen other iterations of this. That way I could re-index, put, say, all the Litsy ones in a gallery, all the “with pets”-ones somewhere, all the “act-of-reading” or whatever ones in another place. Categories are starting to emerge, I mean. Check the out, they’re kind of straining to self-classify:

• One
• Two
• Three
• Four
• Five
• Six
• Seven
• Eight
• Nine
• Ten
• Eleven
• Twelve
• Thir

This week’s Mongrels roundup, brought to you by the waning battery of my ever-unreliant iPhone, and with a catch-up list provided by last week’s roundup, stairstep-style:

• One
  • Two
    • Three
• Four
  • Five
    • Six
• Seven
  • Eight
    • Nine
• Ten
  • Eleven
    • Twelve
• Thirteen

And? To start out, we get to go back to the dogs. Always the dogs. Thanks, Chip:

And then for a coffee break, a mere thirty minutes before lunch:

And, I think Mongrels got to be WITH a John Foster book a cy…

Some cool stuff showing up now and again. Here’s three — first couple from Jordan Dyke:

Then me, mid-transformation, from Joe Sherry:

And Anne Barnetson:

And? Chances are I’ve forgot something, someone, some perfect thing. Let me know, I’ll sneak it onto this page. Like this, a recent one from Jolyon Yates. I give you . . . The Lone Changer:

Put a line there to show that this is the new space down here. Just a blurry zoom-in from a snap somebody took at The Last Bo
