It should not be this motherfucking hard to get a vaccine. Pharmacy now needs prescription. Cone Health IS NOT COMFORTABLE prescribing a vaccine. So, I'm left with no means to get the vaccine. This is 100% at RFK Jr.'s feet. If you support this piece of shit, you are a piece of shit. End of story.

I figured I needed to holler about FUGUE DEVIL RESURGENCE (Black Raven Books 2022). It's available in ebook & paperback and contains a dozen of my scariest tales, including the novelette, "Fugue Devil," and its sequel, "Eye of the Devil." It'll scare you silly!

Closing Time at the Sunny-Side-Up

Closing Time at the Sunny-Side-Up

David Niall Wilson's CLOSING TIME AT THE SUNNY SIDE UP is a fast-paced story of the road, with depraved murderers, weird scientists, and dedicated lawmen entangled in overlapping webs of intrigue. I've read many of Dave's works, and I put this one at the top of the list.

Without one shred of evidence. Unlike you, I'm not advocating illegal orders by the President of the United States. Ever hear of posse comitatis? The protests were largely peaceful, with a few bad actors, until exacerbated by an up-and-coming dictator and his puppet masters.
