235 ~ Short Story “Little Fathers of Darkness” by Jason SanfordDeal Me In, wk 13: 5♦️ “Little Fathers of Darkness” is connected to Sanford’s novel, Plague Birds, which I have not read. There is a lot going on in the world of Plague Birds. The story does a fair job of bringing a new reader […]

229 ~ Short Story Deal Me In, wk 12: A♠️“Out of Corruption” by David A. Riley “Out of Corruption” is heavy on atmosphere and contains with a level of gore that has to be influenced by 80s horror movies. So much goo and maggots. Alas, the plot just kind of happens around our narrator. He […]

226 ~ Book Chasing Bright Medusas: A Life of Willa Cather by Benjamin Taylor Last time I was at the library, browsing the New Release shelves, I picked up two books with ties to my college years. The first was Joy Harjo’s book. I first read Harjo in a college class. The second was this […]

The 500: 222–225

222 ~ Book A Feast for Crows by George R. R. Martin As a reader, I’m nearly as bad at finishing a book series as George R. R. Martin is as a writer. Nearly. I had in the past started reading A Feast for Crows, but put it down for one reason or another. Let’s […]

The 500: 219–221

219 ~ Ultimate Friday Lunchtime Disc, 3/15/24 It was drizzling when we left our apartment. Even though we’d gotten a little rain the night before, the field wasn’t too wet. We had 4-4 players and everyone who showed up was willing to play. At least it wasn’t that windy. We even had a patch of […]

213 ~ Short Story Deal Me In, wk 10: 4♣️“The Song of the Slaves” by Manly Wade Wellman I was pretty apprehensive about how this story was going to go. “The Song of the Slaves” was originally published in 1940 in Weird Tales, not quite a bastion of progressive thought. I expected some faux vodou […]

The 500: 210–212

210 ~ Short Story Deal Me In, wk 9: K♠️“Homo Coprophagus Somnambulus” by Jo Fletcher Actually, not a short story but a poem. I didn’t expect a poem in a zombie anthology, but there is it. 211 ~ Movie Monolith (2022)Directed by Matt Vesely; Written by Lucy CampbellStarring: Lily Sullivan Recently, Denis Villeneuve (director of […]
