Zeena Shreck, Journals - final blog of the year
Ave everyone!
Final blog post of the year. I noticed with my last few updates I've forgotten a few news items and accomplishments.
First, this evening a new book review I wrote was published at Heathen Harvest - a review of the zine/book "The Zaum of Zeena" - about Zeena Schreck and her work. While not as meaty as my review of "Troubadours of the Apocalypse" was, I think this was a damn fine review. Have a read here:

Secondly, I hinted at my 2015 retrospective, but didn't dive into it, but another book review I did was published in a physical journal!
Last year I did a review of the book "Drawn and Dangerous" which was published in the academic journal "The Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics" under the Taylor and Francis umbrella. I thought this was a digital only journal - turns out a year later they made a physical issue and I got a copy. Here it is!
So neat! So awesome to be published!
I had another music review published at Heathen Harvest a few weeks ago, "Scenes through the Magic Eye" by Rasplyn. That can be found here:

And one last Heathen Harvest update, they just did a 2015 year end review were all the writers got to select their top 3 albums of 2015 and their top album of the last five years. Curious to what I picked? Find out here:

Ok, that's enough Heathen Harvest news.
The other weekend we recorded our newest episode of HP Lovecast in which we talked about "At the Mountains of Madness". Hint - we were disappointed. Have a listen here:

On personal writing, I am a little over 3000 words (out of 7,500 give or take) on my meteor-horror essay. The due date is the end of January, but I am having some great momentum on it now.
I didn't read as much as I would've like last year. When the 2016 Goodreads reading challenge goes live, I am going to make sure I take part again, and try to increase what I read. I was bombarded with reading requests from the Horror Writers Association, and I simply could not partake this year - but I am hoping to rectify for next.
I hope everyone have as a safe, but fun New Years!
