We're down to the wire! Only 33 more hours left in the Kickstarter for Five Nights at Freddy Got Fingered, my 10th book and first satirical novel! It's a shoo-in for the Pulitzer Prize! www.kickstarter.com/projects/210...

My Substack journey through the films of Stephen King continues with a look back at the supremely silly 1984 Firestarter, which hilariously miscasts George C. Scott as a one-eyed Native American Vietnam veteran assassin who befriends a little girl. substack.com/home/post/p-...

The great Felipe Sobreiro and I collaborated on a T-shirt for my next book's Kickstarter (which ends in 3 days!) that's a great way to say, "I not only accept you; I embrace you," to the neurodivergent person or people in your life.

Billy Jack is not a perfect film. It has several tiny imperfections, but this poster is a work of art.

Freddy Got Fingered - American Humane Society
