Random horror movie night with daughter unearthed the movie "All Eyes." Ben Hall's performance is inspired. The characters are so good you almost don't care if the monster is real or not. A gut punch that knows exactly what you're expecting and does something else. Gonna write a long review I think.

I don't know if I have any fellow Battlebots fans around here, but Chris Rose is one of the most deranged, unhinged sports commentators in the business, and I, for one, love him for it.

excerpt from NHPR.org: Throughout his trip to New Hampshire, he appeared bent on demonstrating that no candidate talks tougher. He promised that, under his presidency, Mexican drug cartels would be “shot stone cold dead,” and vowed that when it comes to federal bureaucrats, “we are going to start slitting throats on Day One.”

Paperback bovers of SPLIT SCREAM VOL 1 & 2 from Dread Stone Press. Vol 1 is green at the top with a black illustration of a chest/torso with a city scene in the center of it, and black at the bottom with an illustration in green of a hand with long nails reaching for a person riding a horse. Vol 2 is black at the top with a yellow illustration of a woman standing in front of a skeletal tree and the bottom is yellow with a black illustration of a microphone covered and dripping with ooze.
Same paperbacks as described in the previous picture but now a black cat is sitting almost on top of them because she photo bombed the scene.

Got one pic in before the cat I adore decided she wanted to be included. (That's her shadow in pic 1.)

Congrats to all, but especially to @jvgachs.bsky.social. I read an early draft of Spooky Lovers and it is an absolute and utter delight. Love story, ghost story, true-crime-inspired thriller tale. Trust me when I say, you're gonna want this novella on your shelf.
