The 500: 197–199
197 ~ Television True Detective, season 4 (2024)Created by Issa LópezStarring: Jodie Foster, Kali Reis, Fiona Shaw, Finn Bennett I was all-in when I saw the trailer for True Detective: Night Country. Jodie Foster is discerning in the roles she takes. The setting is one that hasn’t been overused. And, while I’m one of the […]

194 ~ Short Story “Night Desk Duty at the Infinite Paradox Hotel” by Aimee Ogden I don’t know if this story/concept really works but it’s a fun idea for a flash fiction piece. I find I generally enjoy Aimee Ogden’s stories. 195 ~ Movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)Directed by André Øvredal; Written […]

191 ~ Book The Piazza Tales by Herman Melville One of the greatest disservices done to me by my college education was the bolstering of the dichotomy between genre fiction and literature. Edgar Allan Poe and Arthur Conan Doyle were genre. Samuel Richardson and Jane Austen were literature. And it was literature that we were […]

It occurred to me that something has been missing from my “events,” something as important to me as ultimate frisbee: visits to the public library! Due to where I live, I usually take the free neighborhood shuttles to the Tempe Public Library. If I’m feeling rich, I might take the light rail and proper buses. […]

184 ~ Writing Fiction Re-submission & UpdateGot a rejection last Sunday for the only piece of non- flash fiction I have out at market. Kicked it back out the door on Friday. I’m off to a slow start in 2024. I’ve poked around with a couple ideas, but I think I’ve settled on a short […]

181 ~ Movie Wait Until Dark (1967)Directed by Terence Young; Written by Robert Carrington & Jane-Howard CarringtonStarring: Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin, Richard Crenna, Efrem Zimbalist Jr. I believe I heard about this movie through Bravo’s The 100 Scariest Movie Moments (ranked number 10 for its climax). Not really sure it should be rated quite that […]

178 ~ Movie How Awful About Allan (1970)Directed by Curtis Harrington; Written by Henry FarrellStarring: Anthony Perkins, Julie Harris, Joan Hackett Watched for HorrorX524, prompt #25 – GothicI picked it from the suggested Gothic list, mainly because I’d already added it to my TBW some time in the past. After Psycho (1960), Anthony Perkins ended […]

175 ~ Movie Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)Directed by Rick Bota; Written by Carl DupréStarring Lance Henriksen, Katheryn Winnick, Christopher Jacot Watched for HorrorX524, prompt #48: Sequel/Prequel Hellraiser in the digital age? Sure, why not? Well, actually, there are a lot of reasons why not. Hellraiser is a franchise where more sequels have been made to retain […]

169 ~ Short Story Deal Me In, wk 3: 7♣️“Quietly Now” by Charles L. Grant I think I would have preferred if this anthology was called Mammoth Book of Undead, rather than Mammoth Book of Zombies. The baddies in this story seem much more like a ghoul of some sort. I didn’t care for “Quietly […]
