For some reason they changed the name of this essay/list I created from VEHICULAR HORRORCIDE to something else but the didn't mess with the list itself, I don't think. Thanks to CrimeReads for having me. crimereads.com/your-guide-t...

Your guide to transportation horror-cide

A reminder that I have "Arkham" embedded in my name.

(not that there's anything wrong with that...)

Did you know that Fangoria released a horror movie in the 90s in which a vampire is let loose from an underwater crypt, creating a wave of vamps who sleep submerged in water with their lungs floating outside their body? It's called CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT, starring Karen Black (on Tubi).

I was enjoying my digital review copy of @johnhornor.bsky.social ‘s latest novel, the slow-burn nautical horror The Night That Finds Is All, until it disappeared from my device with 50 pages to go, because yesterday was the pub date. To the bookstore at once! #booksky

About to leave on book tour in support of THE NIGHT THAT FINDS US ALL. I might be obsessing over my cat. To wit:

A kitchen table with three notes, all of them, having copious amounts of writing and markups

A day by day, checklist of all the chores related to a cats, upkeep and health partially filled out. A page long detailed ordered list with instructions also detailed regarding the feeding litter, care, entertainment, and health of a cat named Jasmine.
