“I knew [Tim] could translate Pam Voorhees’ chaotic thoughts and complex psychology in new, intriguing ways, ones that might be more clarifying and revealing than we could ever communicate on screen. And boy, has he ever.” – Brad Caleb Kane, series creator, Crystal Lake Out Oct. 15th.

This is the first thing I bought after signing the contract to write the Crystal Lake novelization. I've written novels about all three of these bad boys! (Now if I can find a mug that has Art on it, too...)

People have been asking where they can order the Crystal Lake novelization. It'll be available at the A24 site as well as Amazon and B&N. I'll share links as soon as they're available. In the meantime, here's an actual picture of me writing the book.

One of the things I hate about Ohio: all the sidewalk chalk people waiting to reach up and grab unwary pedestrians. BEWARE THE CHALK!

Watched this cosmic horror movie on Tubi last night. It's based on a Fritz Leiber story I was unfamiliar with, and I enjoyed it.

So how come to citizens of Rushville -- who hate Green Lanterns -- didn't destroy Guy's beacon?

I used to say that Marvel Comics were about people who are sometimes superheroes, and DC Comics were about gods who sometimes pretend to be human. But in James Gunn's DCU, the characters are people first and foremost.

This is my favorite picture at my college. Are these kayakers rowing across snow or ice to get to the elk? Are they traversing an endless void? And why is one upside down?

(I'm watching a YouTube video about Lanterns theories. Christine walks in and I turn it off.) Her: It's okay. I know Lanterns is your current hyperfixation. Me: I don't have hyperfixations. Her: Uh-uh. (She leaves the room.) Me: (I turn the video back on, but with the volume lower this time.)

Christine and I went to Spirit yesterday. At one point, she said, "I feel like a tourist here." I replied, "That's okay. All are welcome in the House of the Holy."

When I was a kid, I asked my mom why there wasn't a children's day. She said, "Because every day is children's day." This is a post for any white folks upset about episode 3 of Lanterns.

If you want to change a writers' org, ask yourself what do writers need that they can't do for themselves, and focus on that.
