Lovecraft Book review, music, Stranger Things and other Things
Wow, only a few days since my last blog here on Goodreads and I had an explosion of activity!
First things first, I had 4 articles published in the past week! Yikes! I am never that prolific, but hey – things are going on!
I read the book Daughters of Arkham since I love diving into Lovecraft-things, and I penned a review of it that was just published at Fanbase Press. That can be read here:

While at the Stan Lee Los Angeles Comic Con this past weekend, I attended a panel about Shannon Purser, the actress who plays Barb in Stranger Things. I documented the panel as best as I could, and that was also published at Fanbase Press:

On the music front, I had two reviews published at Heathen Harvest. The first one was for Napoleonic Blues, the newest album by the legendary neofolk project Ostara. That can be read here:

The next one was on “The Beginning”, the newest album for the synthpop/EBM band Syntec. This was their first album in 21 years! The link to that one is here:

On the writing front, I’m still juggling a few projects.
For my neopeplum book I am still working on the introduction. Mid-December is when the essays are due back to me, so I definitely want to get my intro done ASAP.
Still in very early stages of my Stranger Things and synthwave essay.
Also in planning stages on a short essay on the old Silly Symphonies cartoons of the 1930s.
I also may be working on a short story too – a combination of Italo Calvino’s Cosmicomics and some Lovecraft.
I am trying to also finish a book review on Music at the Extreme which I keep working on and off.
Dang! Lot’s to do, but anxious to see it all realized!
ALSO! Remember, I am co-chairing the Ann Radcliffe Academic Con at next year’s StokerCon. If you’re an academic and have a paper or presentation on anything horror related, please submit an abstract to me! More info can be found here:

Until next time folks!
