065 ~ Short Story Deal Me In, wk 38: 3♣️“A Chestnut, A Persimmon, A Cunning Lie” by Michelle Denham The tiger-hearted would wear the clothes of the devoured and they would infiltrate the house of the grieving, and when the time was right, they’d eat the rest of the family. There were many ways to […]

059 ~ Short Story Deal Me In, wk 37: 8♣️“Quandary Aminu vs The Butterfly Man” by Rich LarsonI love character names that are sort of a take on Puritan names. My favorite D&D character is named Folly, so Quandary strikes me as perfect. This story starts with the creation of the Butterfly Man, which is […]

056 ~ Ultimate Friday Lunchtime Disc, 9/15Scratched together a four-on-four game. Unfortunately, our park of choice is still over-watering, so we’ll be moving to Estrada Park next week. (Good chance we’ll play next week; the weather is only getting nicer.) I’ve been having a rough week, VOTS-wise, so a very muddy park was a disappointment […]

053 ~ Short Story “In Lonely Lands” by Harlan EllisonI’m reading these older Ellison stories from The Essential Ellison, a mammoth trade paperback. The stories are organized by theme, rather than chronologically, and each section has an introduction by the editors. “In Lonely Lands” kicks off a section entitled “Worlds of Love.” The editor (I’m […]

050 ~ Short Story Deal Me In, Wk 36: 5❤️“Mr. Sigerson” by Peter S. BeagleOne of my favorite authors writes a story featuring one of my favorite characters! I’m little biased here probably, but this is one of the better stories in this anthology (Sherlock Holmes: The Hidden Years). Beagle writes this from the point […]

044 ~ Book The Circumference of the World by Lavie Tidhar(An ARC of The Circumference of the World was provided to me by Tachyon Publications in exchange for an honest review.) Lavie Tidhar continues to be a little bit of an enigma for me as a reader. His Central Station stories have given me a […]

041 ~ Ultimate WLDisc pickup, 9/1We hadn’t played WLDisc pickup since the middle of June. July was so hot. August was nicer, but not Fridays. This Friday was cool and overcast. Of course, that also meant that we’d gotten some rain on Thursday night. Probably not that big of a deal, but the city also […]

038 ~ Movie Night of the Demons (1988)Directed by Kevin S. Tenney, Written by Joe AugustynStarring: Cathy Podewell, Amelia Kinkade, Linnea Quigley I have a soft spot for horror movies set on Halloween, but Night of the Demons is pretty much a stereotypical 80s’ teen horror film. There’s gratuitous female nudity (although the the risqué […]
