Dangerfield asks why he got an F on a paper about Vonnegut that Vonnegut wrote. The teacher's response: "Whoever did write this doesn't know the first thing about Kurt Vonnegut!" Welcome to the Monkey House. #MutantBookClub #MutantFam

My first introduction to Kurt Vonnegut, when I was a kid, was the Rodney Dangerfield movie, Back to School; so, for the next few weeks I'm introducing stories from his phenomenal collection—Welcome to the Monkey House. #MutantBookClub #MutantFam

Any aliens?

We meet in The Lost Drive-In Discord to discuss the books.

If you've finished reading the #MutantBookClub March's selection: The Girl with all the Gifts, then start reading @claymcleod.bsky.social Wake Up and Open Your Eyes, April's selection. We'll be meeting April 12th in The Lost Drive-In Discord. #MutantFam

Great book. Psychic Santa was my favorite from the collection.

We will. I believe you tackle social themes better than any writer today. Drug Use: Ghost Eaters. Fandom/Pop Culture: The Remaking. Satanic Panic/mass hysteria: Whispers Down the Lane; also, Psychic Santa tackles grief and redemption, and those are the ones that I've read.

That's amazing. I'm looking forward to reading the book. It appears its statement needed to be said, and I'm going to thank you in advance of me reading the book for that.

Does Spew of the News take place in the same universe as Wake Up and Open Your Eyes? I haven't read Wake Up yet, but the synopsis sounds like what happens in Spew of the News?

Good tidings to the #MutantFam this morning. I'm here as a friendly reminder that for this month we're reading 'The Girl with all Gifts' by M. R. Carey; and for April we'll be reading @claymcleod.bsky.social 'Wake Up and Open Your Eyes'. #MutantBookClub

We appreciate you staying up late with the #MutantFam and helping make the night fun. The drive-in just wouldn’t be the same without amazing members of this community!

Forty years ago today, one of my favorite movies was released in theaters: Highlander. Celebrate by watching @therealjoebob123.bsky.social host the movie on The Lost Drive-In...and there can be only one. 😏 #MutantFam

Finally, the top story from Richard Matheson's masterful collection, and everyone's going to recognize it from the hellish Zuni fetish doll. Yes, I speak of Prey. #MutantBookClub #MutantFam

Same here. I Am Legend is a masterpiece.

As promised, #MutantFam, today we're featuring the second best story from Richard Matheson's 'Nightmare at 20,000 Feet' collection: Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. Yes, it doesn't take the top spot, that's how good this collection is. #MutantBookClub

Joe Bob, from the ones who have been with you since Dallas to the folks who discovered you along the way, may this birthday bring you even half the joy you bring into our lives. If it does, it might just be the best damned birthday this planet has ever seen.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOE BOB!

#MutantFam

Have you ever wished you could fly? That question in the hands of Joe Hill takes a sinister turn in his short story The Cape, that we're still thankful was released on the world. @darcythemailgirl.bsky.social #MutantBookClub #MutantFam

Same here.

I do as well, but I enjoyed Occultation more. I love short stories though, and The Croning's fragmented story makes it hard to follow the until the end.
