I'm gonna just say it: I think this is a really good book for this time of year.

Book cover featuring an illustration of various animals: a crow, a dog, a deer, and an old house. The title, American Animism, is in the center, and the author's name, Jamey Gallagher, is at the bottom. The background is red and the illustration is in black and white.

I just laughed at myself ... I thought I was replying to a stranger. I couldn't recommend Darwyn Cooke's adaptations more. A master. R.I.P.

When I see another Patterson celebrity book deal I can't help but think how many new careers they could launch with the advance paid to the all already wealth celeb. Maybe the ghostwriter will get a good payday.

Love the DVD cover by Tony Stella. The movie might be the truest non-Parker Parker adaptation.

I hope, with the Skydance (Paramount/Warner Bros.) merger being approved, that they dump the Paramount+ app. It's horrible. The HBO Max isn't bad. I've never tried Discovery+. Of course, if they jack the subscription price up to recoup the $110B, I may just drop both. I need more time anyway.

It went beyond the physicality in both movie adaptations, though. Neither captured the personality or traits of the titular characters. Spenser also had the legacy of the 80's TV show. Urich might have been too pretty and scenes glammed up, but the essence and characterization were there.

So damn happy to have this back in the world, and thanks to Frank for keeping the series alive. This one is me drawing from authors I love like Joe Lansdale, Harry Crews, Flannery O'Connor, and Cherie Priest. It's a wild ride, and I hope you'll dig it.

After more than a decade requesting, reviewing, editing author blurbs, I guarantee that "An Absolute Page Turner" blurb was originally a dissertation why Title X fits into Genre Y. In publishing everything requires editing.

Wonder what the hold up is? Film schedules of the cast? I never would have thought, but Apple really has some of the best produced original programming.

His work is incredible. He managed to capture an era, while creating work that was undeniably his own. I tried to commission him for a personal project, but our time table didn't match up. While I didn't get that commission, I do have a great print hanging in my office.

Are you suggesting that the Liechtenstein has the quality of comparing RFK Jr to JFK Jr? Or are you unaware of JFK Jr who tragically died at 39? It's true, RFK Jr lacks all the qualities of his younger cousin JFK Jr, from intelligence, admiration, morality, compassion, not to mention good looking.

A week in, this book has gotten more attention than when it was first released in 2021. My continued thanks to readers of old and to those who are just now discovering how Bishop Rider makes them burn. Big thanks to @ronearl.bsky.social too, for rehoming my books and giving me this second chance.

I don’t tend to follow my release numbers after a book comes out. It’ll just drive you crazy. But Unbearable keeps coming out high on Arthurian Fantasy subcategory on Amazon. So I’ll take a win while I can.

Are you still a bookseller? If so, guess you'd have access to all the distributors. Yeah, normally use Abe or other used book marketplaces when I'm looking for a a specific edition. I am the type of collector who likes to get specific cover runs. Otherwise, the current edition would be fine. 🤣

AI detection uses AI. That's ironic. And studies show, and studies can n be manipulated, that AI detection can be as low as 10-20% accurate. Recent events show, however, that it can be used in racial bias. AI isn't racist, but those making determinations on unprovable data are.
