Many people have told me to listen to this so I finally did. All my life I've avoided it strictly because of the cover.

Somewhere along the way the idea of someone turning your book into a movie became the ultimate goal. But the book is the thing, not the adaptation, right? Anyway, people told me a new movie called IT ENDS is a lot like this one. I'll watch it and report back! (blurb by @stephengrahamjones.com)

This border skirmish has been going on since we moved to this neighborhood. They need to send in a tabby to facilitate peace talks.

This Killer on the Road from @sstpublications.bsky.social is gorgeous. Also, I just got the wide version of that cover, much larger, back from the framer. One of the very coolest covers I’ve lucked into. Thanks, Francois Vaillancourt. Also? Killer was the most fun to write of any of my novels.
Book jacket: a big rig/tractor from a low angle, such that we can see “Stephen Graham Jones” on the tall bumper. “Killer on the Road” is on the side of the hood. Truck’s dingy red, has seen some miles.

I don't understand why Stevie Nicks would write such a notoriously heartwrenching song named after this little diner. The breakfast omelet wasn't even that great and the hashbrowns were... Wait what? Hold on [hand over earpiece]... Never mind.

There are no cliffhangers in Cliffhanger, no poetic justice in Poetic Justice, no babies driving in Baby Driver, no one set on fire in Man on Fire, Blue Thunder was black, the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are from the Cretaceous period, the NeverEnding Story ends, and Debbie never makes it to Dallas.

It's a testament to the original Krazy Glue ads that I have so many distinct childhood memories of being disappointed by its effectiveness. Also, how many hardhats were permanently stuck to girders? How many skyscrapers had to incorporate them into the structure? How many lives were lost that day?

This guy asked me for some stuff for his '80s Retro Room so I hooked him up. Only 3 of those Blockbuster boxes left.

What an incredible package from author David James Keaton! After finishing his fantastic novel Head Cleaner, I reached out to David—and he surprised The Retro Room with an amazing collection of goodie...

Had a lot of fun watching Val Kilmer movies for @projectionbooth.bsky.social's Val-Halla series. Enjoyed reading his memoir too - came across as such an out-there, heart-on-his-sleeve goofball. My heart goes out to loved or loathed ones whom his temperament hurt, but man he made some movies thanks

Today dog poop got tracked all over the floors of our house. We don't own a dog. Someone apparently let their dog poop in our yard. I never thought I'd say this but for the first time ever I'm considering the nuclear option... Signage.

Some more withdrawn-from-library rescues. Hedberg Public Library in Wisconsin was apparently doing a big purge. I already have these, so if you want one let me know. They seemed worth saving from the grinder. (can't vouch for the green one)

Another melancholy day of Google alerts showing me more of Chuck Kinder's personal library on eBay and the books I'd sent him. I smiled seeing the picture of his face that I'd attempted to draw though.
