The ‘Wait, Something’s Wrong Here’ SPIDERHEAD Netflix trailer.
Not the SPIDERHEAD trailer itself: it looks fine.
It’s… this.
In 7 days a streaming service is releasing a $100 million+ movie starring one of the biggest movie stars on earth and directed by a guy with a movie in theaters currently that is the biggest smash hit of the year. Yet I can’t recall seeing a single piece of advertising for it.

Neither can I. And you gotta wonder why.
Galactic Con tomorrow! (And I need a source for upcoming conventions.)
Everything’s packed up except for one bag for Galactic Con. If you’re in Howard County (Howard County Fairgrounds, 10 AM – 6 PM), come on by! Buy a book! Heck, buy them all so that I won’t have to lug anything home.
Also: I need a good ongoing resource for Maryland conventions and book fairs. Preferably the ones that don’t charge extremely large sums of money for tables. I’m not yet playing at that level.
TINSEL RAIN: Now in print!
This morning, I got the notification that TINSEL RAIN is live, and in paperback. I’ve already ordered the copies for the Kickstarter rewards: I tentatively think that I can start processing pledges in the first week of July. If you didn’t back the Kickstarter, you can order the books at the Amazon link above.
I will not have the books for Galactic-Con tomorrow, but I should have copies with me for conventions going forward. Definitely, for Fright Reads. Heck, I’m hoping to have another chapbook by then, too.

The GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S CABINET OF CURIOSITIES Trailer Teaser.
Word on the street is that a couple of the Cabinet of Curiosities are Lovecraft adaptations. Also note: Guillermo del Toro isn’t directing these himself, but that’s okay. Supposedly, ‘Dreams in the Witch House’ is one of the two Lovecraft works, and I’m happy to see that story get done with a decent budget.

PS: Of course I want to see del Toro do IN THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, instead. I also want world peace, an excellent working relationship with a reputable literary advertising agency, and a pony. I’m just managing my expectations.

The short horror film ‘Weeji.’
My eldest child informed me that it was very important that I watch Weeji. So I did. Needless to say: he was correct.
Tweet of the Day, This Really Does Feel Freaky edition.
It did a better job than I expected. Heck, I didn’t expect it to do the job at all. AI is a fascinating field.

The surprisingly promising NOPE trailer.
I have yet to get into Jordan Peele films. I have a complicated relationship with horror flicks in that I don’t like most of them, for reasons which are difficult for me to articulate properly. I just know when I might like one, that’s all.
NOPE, I might like. I’m not sure. Must ponder further.
The print edition of TINSEL RAIN is In Review!
Checked the proof, made the changes, sent it in, had the usual issue with the imprint, fixed that, sent it in again. Now it’s just a matter of waiting to see if there are any lingering issues. Hopefully, you’ll be able to buy the TINSEL RAIN paperback by Monday. Hopefully.
You can still get it now on Kindle, though.
