Book of the Week: Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark.

My older kid loves these. And it’s Halloween. That’s pretty much it, and that’s pretty much all it has to be.

Halloween is a go.

Two wide-apeture cardboard tubes, duct-taped together with pencils at the join. We passed out a half-dozen of the kits, too.

Halloween in the Time Of Plague. The tube is prepared, and the offerings SHALL be made.

RIP, Sean Connery

Although ninety is a good age. Sean Connery had a lot of good roles, over the years, from serious to comic; it’s hard to pick one in particular where he shone as a performer or actor. My prayers and good wishes to his family and loved ones.

Early night tonight. Heck, it’s a holiday weekend.

10/30/20 Update, TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter.

Some more interest today in the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter, which is good. Excellent, even. We continue on as the month ends and the new month dawns. Or something equally poetical.

In the email: The @HPLHS’s THE CURSE OF YIG DART.

It’s still technically still on preorder, but the HPL Historical Society decided to drop the MP3 for Halloween for everybody who preordered. Happy Halloween to me! I’m listening to it now.

PS: Entertainingly, the free short story from my TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter is ‘A Bargain With Yig.’ Only in mine, he’s… well, why not read the story?

‘Existential Troopers.’

This is quite well done.

I did like how they ended it, too. ‘Twas clever.

LO. The Time of McRib Approaches.

10/29/20 Update, TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION.

With twenty days to go, I do have some hope that TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION will at least clear the current stretch goals. I think that the infamous trough came early this go-round, which is unfortunate but not cripplingly so. I may have to reassess whether I can use Backerkit this time around, though. I’ll know more in a couple of weeks.

PS: It was not the best day generally, honestly.
