The Word for World is Forest
AVATAR 3D in IMAX, wow. it's SCANNER DARKLY and FERN GULLY and BRAVEHEART as percolated up through DANCES WITH WOLVES and POCAHONTAS. loved it in spite of those last two, even. and, though I can't find it in his bibliography now, I was pretty sure I'd read a Samuel Delaney book/story about wearing bodies like [...:]

Jukin'
which is what Bo and Luke used to always do, once the day's chases and jumps and explosive archery fun was over. but, for me, "Jukin" is having another story in the cool JUKED. "Wolf Island." completely safe for work, unless you work at a pet store.

The Many Stages of Grief
new (old) story, "The Many Stages of Grief" (one of my maybe four favorites ever. of mine, I mean. which, yeah, that's like 180th in the Great List of Stories I Love). the debut issue of PALIMPSEST. Also, a short story "Girls" (only a third as good as the Crue song, yeah) and an essay, [...:]

New Interview
New interview. All kinds of fun, as always. If I remember correctly, too, that pic there, the shirt I'm wearing, I borrowed it from somebody in the driveway of the photographer's. Had a red outline of the state of Arkansas, I think. Kind of liked it, but then he wanted it back. People (okay: one [...:]

New Story up at FiveChapters
Especial for Halloweentime, "The Ones That Got Away," the somewhat-title story from the new collection and proud participant in Paul Tremblay and Sean Wallace's Phantom: Going Beyond the Scare.
A Sentimental Education: Saw VI
One of the big axioms of storytelling is that you know a character best by the decisions he or she makes under extreme circumstances. It's why you push your characters out into the street, see how they react when traffic's slamming in from all sides at once. Granted, you can rig your story so that [...:]

Paranormal Activity
Got an article/review/essay ('response?') up for it over at Popmatters. Kind of wanted to call it Geppetto mon Amour, but figured that might show my roots too much. Those being all in France, yes.
The LINK. Would slap some cool images up here, too, but the guys who do the art over at Popmatters have [...:]

Nolan Dugatti: still kicking
I read this review then, no lie, went upstairs, found some shrimp on the counter, ate them. which, for those in the know [see below:], kind of matters.
too, I've noticed my blog posts in here lately are more 'blog' posts, as in, they take the space where a blog post would go, but, really, they're [...:]

Couple Stories
"In the Beginning" and "The Wages: an Argument," over at the brand-new shiny sparkly SpringGun Press.
Really strange that they posted this morning, though — or, that that Wages-one's real now anyway. Because I just now started the already-excellent Pontypool Changes Everything, which opens like this:
That night I had terrible dreams I was killing people. When [...:]

Modern Love
One of my favorite Bowie songs, sure, but, too, the name of a story of mine up over at Everyday Genius today.
