Voice actor Frank Welker and three images of Fred Jones
Happy 80th to one of the greats in voice acting: Frank Welker, who among many feats, has played Fred Jones on about every iteration of Scooby-Doo ever for SEVEN decades (especially my fave, hilarious Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!) Thanks for being so awesome, Frank!
Looking forward to my event tonight with @brianraftery.bsky.social to celebrate his fantastic new book: HANNIBAL LECTER: A LIFE.
Come join us at Exile in Bookville at 7:00 tonight! I’m naturally preparing with some fave beans and a nice chianti.
Stacy traces how white-collar greed, corruption, and the subprime mortgage scandal turned a Brooklyn neighborhood into what became known as “The Killing Fields.” This book is about power, accountability, and the damage done far from the crime scene. Once you pick this one up, you won't put it down.
THE KILLING FIELDS OF EAST NEW YORK by @stacyhorn.bsky.social is out today in paperback. When this first came out last year, I was stunned by how current this book felt in 2025, and now, just barely into the new year, it's just as striking and relevant.
Happy to announce I'll be in conversation with Patrick Radden Keefe on Thursday April 16th, at 7:30pm here in Chicago. We'll be talking about his latest, the spellbinding LONDON FALLING!
Tickets are at the link in my bio!

It is with a heavy heart we took out the trash today — when I realized my beloved Pond's Cold Cream pre-dates my daughter, who is 11. Farewell, Pond-y! Onward to that Combo Makeup Removal and Facial Moisturizer Playground in the Sky!!!!
The city skyline of Chicago, viewed from the north. A gentle bank of clouds is lit up in golden hues from the streetlights downtown.
Thankful for good ole Chicago...
Thank you Kansas City International Airport for establishing urinary parity! It’s seriously no small thing for women not to be punished because of our biology!
