2026: wherein I only read books with this exact type of cover.

Be wary of rocks.

Mostly a digital guy nowadays but couldn’t resist barging into my LCS and demanding a hard copy of the fourth-ever Batman 1. Looking forward to Fraction’s run and always up for more Jimenez.

Total power move driving this around during a full moon.

Few eleventh-hour finds at the bookstore. Figure I can read all three before midnight.

Night’s still young, folks. Keep your battle plan handy just in case.

Halfwayish through my first crime novel. Really immersing myself. Might try to commandeer a vehicle later.

My daughter swears this isn’t a creepy cat, which has me pondering her definition of creepy.

Got my 4k copy of TRICK ‘R TREAT just in time for Thanksgiving.

Big time Purge energy at the supermarkets today.

Lucked into some signed Etchison. And the date is two weeks after my birth. Seems more brightside to me.

They deserve employee-of-the-month status.

Antibody else pick up a 1998 Taco Bell GODZILLA cup holder today? Surely I can’t be the only one.

The cover of Euroschlock Nightmares: Lurid Tales of Cinematic Continental Horror edited by Jonathan Raab. Featuring O'Connell, Lacey, Bartlett, Gam, Whinery, Kiste, Richard, Breen, Grey, Carmen, Thompson, Morris. Three goals in purple cloaks over a haunted house. The lead ghoul has a knife.

Whoa, the coolest: my story “Unfound Footage” is nominated for a Splatterpunk Award! Congrats to all the other splattery nominees.

A+++ to the person that decorated this set from Colbert’s Super Bowl special.

Actual masterpiece. So many in-camera effects that still look impressive.

Hey, you: it’s almost the big day and BAD MOVIE NIGHT can be read in a single sitting. Tell your friends.

Enamored with this pumpkin pail that is the exact color of my toothpaste.

DARK HARVEST: love the book, love the movie, but who do we have to hunt for a Sawtooth Jack action figure?

Hey cool: got me a story in this one. Preorder is alive too.

There’s no gambling like Lugosi gambling.

In awe of this Halloween sound effects CD, the cover of which so resembles a 1992 death metal demo.

Look, we both know you need a spooky novella for the coming weeks, so let’s make this easy.

Sitting by the fire, drinking an obscenely strong drink, and reading the LORDS OF SALEM novelization. What I’m saying is I’m having a great night.

This is my prediction for what the FEMA emergency test message will say:
