Love For The Craft: The Weird Tales Of W.H. Pugmire

For later:

In the early 1970s Seattle’s seekers of the macabre were stalked by Count Pugsly, a ghoulish vampire lurking in the horror-filled chambers of Jones’ Fantastic Museum. 20 years later tha…

Lovecraft Country Is One of the Most Thrilling Books of the Year

Lovecraft Country Is One of the Most Thrilling Books of the Year

Imagine that you’re driving home, and a cop pulls you over for no reason. He begins to search your car and finds a stash of rare science fiction books, including a rare Edgar Rice Burroughs first edition, giftwrapped for your uncle. The cop proceeds to mess up these books, while laughing at the titl…

Books to look for - Victor LaValle's The Ballad of Black Tom, and Tim Powers' The Drawing of the Dark. I may have read the latter, but if so I'm overdue for re-reading.

Wild West Novels Have Suddenly Gotten A Whole New Exciting Lease on Life

Bunch of books that I'd like to read here.

Lately, the Western novel has been getting really fun again. Most of us probably think of Louis L’Amour’s, or maybe Joe Lansdale’s classic Weird West stories. But there’s a slew of new Westerns, featuring diverse characters and bracing new storylines. We talked to four authors about the new wave of…

Writing Advice: What I Learned from Reading One-Star Reviews

I usually delete links and leave the images, but there's actually a blog post there worth reading. The video is only part of it.

There are some lessons as a writer that one learns over and over. One that keeps coming around again and again for me is this: What some people love most about a book or story will be the SAME THING that other people hate the most. I first learned this as an editor. I've edited over 100 anthologies…

Sacred Carnality - The New Yorker

Details in writing.

Every memoir should brim over with the physical experiences that once streamed into the author’s senses.

New Anthology Has Women Fighting Lovecraft's Horrors. It's About Time.

Note to self: Find & read this.

H.P. Lovecraft was maybe not the most woman-friendly writer out there. His works teem oleaginously with many things, but not prominent female characters (although Shub-Niggurath, Black Goat and Mother of a Thousand Young, remains an inspiring role model for evil girls everywhere). But change is comi…

Also, I should look for The Scarlet Gospels by Clive Barker. I hear it's not up to his old standards, but still - some Clive Barker is better than no Clive Barker.

Note to self: I should keep an eye out for Seveneves.

The Essential Cyberpunk Reading List

Strangely enough, I have not read all of these. Many, perhaps even most, but not all.

It’s now been over three decades since cyberpunk first exploded, and in that time we’ve seen gorgeous movies, read fascinating books, and seen dozens of offshoots like steampunk (and my new favorite, deco punk) develop. Here are the 21 cyberpunk books you absolutely must read.

Last Vegas

For the first time in months, I wrote a blog post.

Maybe I should change this blog to "Movies That P**s Me Off"

Why are the stories in video games so bad?

Writing in video games -

People often say they are enthusiastic about games because "they can tell stories", or because they enable narrative moments not possible in other media. But although there are numerous flashes of ...

Here's One Brilliant Recipe For A Story That Will Kick Anyone's Ass

Chuck Wendig's recipe for writing:

There’s no one secret formula for a great story, even if Pixar has its rules and other people have their own ideas. There are as many great shapes for a story to take as there are stories. But Chuck Wendig, author of the Blackbirds series, has a pretty great example of how to structure a kick-ass st…

Aging Beefcake

Good morning! Nope, it's not an April Fools gag. I really did publish a new blog post yesterday.

I apologize for missing so many weeks.

Paper Man (2009)

I will figure out how to post the way I want, if it kills me. Anyway, here's a new blog post. Three weeks in a row!

Short one this week, but a film I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Gangsters

Another new post.

I’m gonna write about three gangster movies, see? And you’re gonna be happy to get two posts in two weeks, see? Nyeah, see?

An Invisible Sign (2010)

New post this week.

This is the first movie in a long time that actually had me squirming in my seat, trying to figure out what was happening and why.

28/01/2015
The Monuments Men

I posted last week, but it was a non-post apology for not having a real post. So here's a post to make up for it.

I actually watched one of the movies that I mentioned last week, and was deeply moved. I’m not going to write about it this week, though.

Hey, I was sick. GImme a break.

London Boulevard (2010)

Don't know (again) why FB didn't post a link to this. It went live at 8:00 AM.

Film noir needs femme fatales, right?
