Essay Progress, Next Projects
A little cross-platform blog-style update (to appear in a variety of places)
This is the final week to get the last section of my Meteorite-horror film essay done for Michele’s new book. I’ve a shade over 5,000 words written, and I am in the home stretch! But I am also in the toughest part, were all the theoretical bits come together. It’s been a long essay, but I know it will be amazing.
Projects afterwards:
Reviews for Heathen Harvest (as always)
Book review of The Art of Rube Goldberg for the Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics
Possibly a story about the Cats of Ulthar for an upcoming anthology
Prelimary research on an essay about Weird Westerns
And the big big one….
Submit my own book proposal in
My plan for the longest time has been to get 2 essays done for other journals/books before tackling a book myself. The time is coming very close that I need to step up and do that.
Aside from finishing my essay on meteorite-horror films, yesterday Michele, Jule, Adam and I recorded our 10th podcast episode of H.P. Lovecast, this time about C. Hall Thompson’s short story “The Spawn of the Green Abyss.” It was a lively dialog about a story not talked about much, and of course it can be heard here:

I’ve submitted a review to Heathen Harvest about an upcoming vinyl about with some spoken word tracks of Lovecraft stories, so that should be published soon.
For personal fun stuff, on Saturday Michele and I went to Phat Con – a comic book convention held at Dave and Buster’s and put on by Phat Collectables. I got a Turok comic signed by Rob Liefeld, so that was awesome.
This upcoming February is going to be a crazy month, as Michele and I will be in a music video, going to some awards, going to the Long Beach Comic Con, along with general writing and other fun stuff. Exciting times!
