Y’know? That last one of these, number twenty, I kind of ended it in a “so long farewell been fun see ya later”-way. But I was all mopey-goodbye way too early, turns out. I may keep doing these until the paperback hits in January, I mean. October’s for werewolves after all.

Anyway/first, here’s the wolves that came before, which I rhymetastically call:

Wonder when, or if, I’ll ever stop seeing werewolf stuff everywhere? This is from the second episode of the second season of Scream Queens. Remember how Halloween night is the one night all the werewolves can run free, because no cop’s answering a call about “werewolves?” Mongrels isn’t the only story that knows that.

Digging through some old boxes, stumbled onto this little pamphlet. Way I remember my first reading, it was for this story “West Texas Dirt” I’d won an award for, in 1994, the last year of my undergrad work at Texas Tech. I guess I must have done this one too, though—with a friend I’d go onto MA-land with, Ashley.

Bill Wenthe was the real draw, of course. As he should have been, and still is. Dude writes some solid poetry.

This is from the plenary address/discussion/interview at the Western Literature Association’s 2016 conference in Big Sky, Montana (I think all these pics are from/by Billy Stratton):

That’s Susan Bernardin on stage with me. Also? T…

Thanks to my student from wayback Jo Anna Gaona Albiar for showing me this. Not only are pantyhose murder. So are many fashion accessories:

Twenty, man, wow. Thought this was a werewolf novel, but I think the book itself is a zombie: it keeps on going. Well, guess zombies don’t have the complete market on that:

But that really belongs on the It Came from Del Rio page.

This page? It’s all werewolves all the time:

And let’s start with a droog from the wayba…

This is so right, so real. It’s how you feel, growing up in Texas, then one day leaving.

Then, once you’re somewhere else, this is always playing in all your backgrounds:

Also, all the other months. But it’s in October that I’m getting to intro Wolfen, The Company of Wolves, and The Howling.
