So, I’m doing something I’ve never accomplished successfully, organizing a 2024 reading schedule. I’ll be accepting/ soliciting review requests as well as purchasing/ scheduling books that my soul needs.
I am Zakk Madness, The Eyes of Madness, and I am reopened for business.
It’s a dark and stormy morning, the kids are off to school, and I am reconnecting with Clive Barker & the Hell Priest.
Goalz.

Well, shit didn’t get as bonkers as I was expecting, and that’s ok. I loved the ending. The Last Haunt was a great read from start to finish. Get some before Gus gets you.
Stupid work! I’m at 86% and I feel like shit is about to get bonkers! Sorry pal, you’ve gotta take an eight hour intermission… The Last Haunt by

It’s been decided. When the youngest child hits 21 we’re doing a family party bus vacation.
Scanners is basically an X-men film directed by Cronenberg in the early 80s.
I’ve always known this. But right now I’m really wishing he had directed an X-men film in the 80s. Just all weird mutant sex and wolverine skeleton claws body horror.
I was thinking WWE theme music, so when I hear it I know that it’s time to get hyped and be on my feet.
Calling all book reviewers who love horror, thrillers, mysteries and windswept angsty coastal possession stories...let me know if you'd like a digital copy of The Folly to read early!
I need to get a couple responses turned in before I can check anything else out but this is definitely my top priority.
