Kick your spooky season off right!
#41 'Who Invited Them' (2022)- A unique take on "uninvited party guests", this is a slow buildup towards a wild finale that was an enjoyable ride throughout. The cast is super fun here and makes uncomfortable situations entertaining and bearable.

At Printers Row everyone asked what kind of books we publish. Weird ones. Mythic fables, nostalgic trips, dystopian futures, disco slashers with demons.

Weird enough you’ll wonder why you picked them up. And we’ll wonder why you didn’t put them down…

If you’re an immigrant with legal status who’s committed 0 crimes you can be sent to a torture prison where you’ll be raped and dehumanized.

If you’re old pals with Trump and ran a pedophile ring you get sent to a cushy minimum security prison despite being ineligible because you’re a sex offender.

I'm going to this. Are you?
Sunday, 2pm, I will be at the downtown Public Library in LA w/ Mary Steenburgen & Ted Danson. Fun fact: Mary & Ted used to be involved, years ago, with a Gregory Peck hosted reading series at the same library. Well, on we go... lfla.org/event/karmad...

So true. The gauntlet has been cast.
The good part of AI is that the only thing a writer can do to combat it is to become more human. Make your writing weirder, hornier, more violent, absurd, poetic, difficult, political, jagged, dreamlike, ironic, surreal, alive. You don't have any choice but to plumb the depths.
May 22, 2025 at 6:28 PM
I whole-heartedly agree!

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000.

Children are starving to death.

Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people.

Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?
