Okay, right. One of the things I’ve been working on. An older version went on my tumblr, but I made some changes here. This is a gigantic collection of not only my writing on comics (both the reading and making) but horror film and fiction and thought, as well as all of my [...] DUSTBEARER announced, and other projects let out of the bag. Most for spring of this year. “The thing swung a curved falchion that had lost none of its edge or gleam in death. Lojun hastily brought his shield up, only able to block the blade with the upper rim. The blow struck purple sparks as it glanced off his shield and then breastplate.” “I think it will make a number of things clear,” Hensley said, a schoolboy’s insistence. “Maybe it can offer closure to some of those….families.” And that was a rope that had hung more than one investigator.

No eaters or fraternity pranksters or cops or anyone. Newspapers. Who the hell reads newspapers anymore? They looked as if they’d been put there by the set dresser for THE OMEGA MAN and it he thought it was still 1973. At least we weren’t in Los Angeles. You couldn’t have paid me to be there today.
