Well, not even super sure what ‘tell-all’ exactly means. But I wanted to use an exclamation point, because this one was fun:

Crawl

What are all the crocagator movies? Alligator, Primeval, Lake Placid. I keep hearing about Rogue, but can’t place it, though I’m fairly certain I saw it in the theater. Much like this afternoon’s Crawl.

So, in short: it’s nothing but fun. Anybody see Hurricane Heist? It’s got that feel. Just, with monsters. So, with no hesitation, yeah, I recommend this one.

Doesn’t mean there’s nothing I’d dial a little bit this way or t…

ReaderCon 2019!

I’ve been there before, some three or four times, and it’s always been nothing but a ball, but being a GoH (thanks, Rose Fox!), that was completely different. Not only was my schedule super-super packed:

I would snip it out, post it here, but that feels . . . not bootleggy, but like …

Title . . . . Night of the Mannequins. Slasher through and through.

couple slasher paragraphs from me there

For a long time I’ve been wondering what’s left to do in slasherland, what territory hasn’t already been gone over fifty times, and better than I could ever do it. Night of the Mannequins is in what feels like that unexplored space. Couldn’t be more excited, both …
