Sherlockathon 2020
I’m not usually into prompt-based readathons, but can I resist a Holmes-themed readathon that includes a Hound of the Baskervilles read-along *and* some watch-alongs? No, I cannot. The readathon begins Oct. 19th and extends through Nov. 15th. All the prompts, schedule, and “rules” are on the Sherlockathon site. I’m a slow reader. If I get […]

Perilous Update, 10/12/2020
Perilous Mini Review Afterlife with Archie, Vol. 1: Escape from Riverdaleby Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Writer), Francesco Francavilla (Illustrations), Jack Morelli (Illustrator) I still think it’s weird that Sabrina the Teenage Witch is part of the Archie comics and the whole Archie comic-verse. Archie was the kind of comics my grandpa would suggest for me while I […]

{Book} Bedbugs
Bedbugs by Ben H. Winters Long ago, I won the second book in Ben H. Winter’s Last Policeman trilogy. I had not read the first one, don’t usually get involved in series, and don’t have much taste for apocalypse literature. But I’d heard from readers I trust that The Last Policeman was pretty good.

Perilous Update, 10/03/20
Peril on the Screen I intended to give a more formal update on the first half of Horror Movies A to Z: The Return, but I never got to it this week. Instead, here’s a little summary: I ended up rewatching 14 movies and watching 12 new-to-me movies. The most common rating was R. The […]

{Book} Japanese Tales of Mystery & Imagination
Japanese Tales of Mystery & Imagination by Edogawa Rampo I was turned on to this book by a post over at SciFi & Scary: Five Entry-Level Japanese Horror Stories. I’ve read a small amount of modern Japanese horror and have had Lafcadio Hearn’s Kwaidan on my TRB list for long enough that it’s part of […]

Horror Films A–Z, Sept. 2020: X, Y & Z
The X-Files Initial: You know what’s harder to find than a horror movie that begins with “O” that I wanted to rewatch? One that starts with “X.” So, instead I’m going to highlight a few X-Files episodes. Production Notes: I decided to watch four of the “scariest/goriest” X-Files episodes that generally show up on such […]
