I mention Wildman, my new novel, in that interview. Speak of the novel and the novel appears (or at least an ARC does, sometime last evening). Cool! Cool. This thing we do is cool.

My first R-rated movie was Black Sunday. I was 8. Mom took me -- she didn't know. I did.

Contributor copy day is always a good day. Also fun when the editors pick your story to lead off an issue. "Grampy Dargle" is one mean old bastard. Thanks @erykpruitt.bsky.social!

I consider this a failed exercise. I failed. This only scratches, nay not even scratches, it lightly brushes the surface and is probably less about best than it is about favorite and also reveals a lot. No LAST JEDI what kind of film snob am I.

The more times I saw Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger as a kid the less I cared there was Sinbad, an Eye, and a Tiger in the film.

RIP Mike Peters. Fortunate to have seen him one last time when he hit the Sellersville Theater a few years ago. He ripped through songs like a man on mission, which he was. Some pics from that show:
