So, I’m doing something I’ve never accomplished successfully, organizing a 2024 reading schedule. I’ll be accepting/ soliciting review requests as well as purchasing/ scheduling books that my soul needs. I am Zakk Madness, The Eyes of Madness, and I am reopened for business.

It’s a dark and stormy morning, the kids are off to school, and I am reconnecting with Clive Barker & the Hell Priest.

Well, shit didn’t get as bonkers as I was expecting, and that’s ok. I loved the ending. The Last Haunt was a great read from start to finish. Get some before Gus gets you.

Scanners is basically an X-men film directed by Cronenberg in the early 80s. I’ve always known this. But right now I’m really wishing he had directed an X-men film in the 80s. Just all weird mutant sex and wolverine skeleton claws body horror.

A lot of my friends with Bluesky accounts still mostly post on Twitter because they get more engagement there. I get it. No judgment. But I urge again: It takes 5 seconds to copy and paste those posts here. If you do you will *build* that engagement and make it easier for people to quit Twitter.

I didn’t get a chance to go to the 25th anniversary They Live screening, but I found it on Peacock so I’m watching it, and ya know what? I’m starting to believe that maybe I’ve never actually seen this movie…

Great to see so many writers coming here now. Let's rebuild the writing community. If you’re an author or screenwriter, reply and say hello so we can all find you and follow each other. And if you want to repost this, that would also help.
