Erstwhile lab rat, current bon vivant. Insisting on persisting in this relentlessly roiling morass of madness. Love is real, Love is the Answer, Love is the fulfillment of the Law. We will fix our hearts or die. Fun Fact: I love you. Yes, even *you*.

Cover for Chuck Wendig's THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS. It features one of those staircases that wraps in a circle (I'M NOT A STAIRMAKER I DON'T KNOW THE PROPER TERM, OKAY?) in the middle of the woods, backlit by a golden light. There's a bird (I'M NOT A BIRDOLOGIST EITHER, I DON'T KNOW) resting on the railing in the middle of the stairs.Cover for Adam Cesare's INFLUENCER. It's all very '80s pink and pasterl blue, with a hand holding a phone in the center. On the top of the phone is a man staring menacingly, and on the bottom, there's a woman with what looks like fear in her eyes.Cover for T. Kingfisher's WOLF WORM. It has flowers and plants against a black background, going in and out of the white letters of the title. Cover for John Durgin's I WOKE UP A FINAL GIRL. A rusty, dirty knife that's dripping a dark fluid is top center, with a woman in silhouette (OMG I hate trying to spell that stupid word) behind it, looking as if she's leaning up and rubbing her eyes.

Since Elon Musk seems to hate this documentary about him from one of my favorite non-fiction filmmakers, Alex Gibney, figured it was my duty to spread a link to the trailer so you can see it for yourself. ENJOY: loom.ly/oA2_-p8

The great tragedy of alligators/crocodiles is that, like bears, they seem super-chill, like they'd love for you to walk up to them and give them tummy rubs, except if you do, they'll murder the shit out of you. Not fair, Nature! #TheGreatAlligator #FrightClub

The problem with the whole "ghost-busting reality TV crew meets actual no-shit-for-real ghosts" genre is that in a world where haunts are occasionally real, how long could any team go before encountering the Real Deal and getting their asses handed to them? Let's see a story about that, eh?

Yikes, looks like Elon Musk tried to make Pop-Tarts again!
Pictured is a four-slice toaster that has clearly suffered horrific fire-based trauma that burned it down to the mere studs, the toaster studs, as if some pathetic idiot man-child had been so smug in his assumed supremacy that he managed to bungle a task as simple as toasting a Pop-Tart without creating an immense conflagration.

For the Criterion Current, I wrote about the 1948–1951 trilogy of U.K. anthology movies based on W. Somerset Maugham short stories: QUARTET, TRIO and ENCORE. All three are on the Criterion Channel. I enjoyed them so much I spent all summer reading Maugham stories. www.criterion.com/current/post...
