All three days*, you can find me on the vendor floor, in Artists Alley, table A900, which is right about: (Click for the MEGA-UBER-DUPER-LARGE…

New B-Movie Poster: ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT BUFFET OF THE LIVING DEAD.
FanX is coming up in Salt Lake City in a couple of weeks, and I’ll have a new Bogus B-Movie poster for sale, both full-sized and as a postcard-sized mini: I’ll post my table location as soon as I know!
Movies Seen Recently: The Silence, Subway, Vibes
The Silence (2019) – One of a handful of similarly themed movies that all came out at once. In this one, a horde of mutated bat-creatures which had been stuck in a sealed cave ecosystem for millions of years (let’s just ignore the problem of needing something to eat, shall we?) gets released and quickly…
Movies Seen Recently: The Answer, The Jurassic Games, Stratton
The Answer (2015) – An orphaned young man who habitually tries to stay off the radar despite his brilliant analytical mind suddenly finds himself attacked and on the run (with his date — bad timing for her!) for mysterious reasons that may have something to do with his parents. And I’m not saying that it’s…
Movies Seen Recently: Bloodsucking Bastards, The Man From Earth, Fire and Ice
Bloodsucking Bastards (2015) – I almost turned it off because everyone we met in the first five minutes was intensely unlikeable (filmmakers, why do you DO that???), but once over that hurdle, it was a witty little low-budget* horror-comedy. Who knew that vampires are punctual, dependable, and oriented toward success? Too many F-bombs to show…
Movies Seen Recently: Subspecies 4, Iron Monkey 2, Crypt of the Vampire
Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm (1998) – Here’s the thing about all of the Subspecies movies: They’re all pretty watered down. Yes, the Romanian scenery is nice, but the plot doesn’t move so much as tread water. Here, once again, unwilling vampire Michelle is fighting against being dragged to the dark side by Radu. And to add…
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms
[crossposted to GoodReads] I’ll be honest: I didn’t go into this expecting to like it. I’m friends with Brad Torgersen, Larry Correia, and others who argued that the Hugo awards had become too left-wing political, with candidacy based more on political and “intersectional” stances than on quality and entertainment value, and I know that Jemisin…
Project Salamander.
Oh hey, I ought to mention this around here. Project Salamander is what resulted from an insane idea of mine: To write a round-robin novel with those writers I’d assembled to put together Writers Cantina, the speculative fiction writing conference that debuted this past July; I thought it could act both as a promo piece…
Faith.
[This is the talk I gave in sacrament meeting today. Latter-day Saint content ahead!] We’re going to be talking about deep doctrine today – the deepest, in fact, because it’s so foundational. It’s faith. It qualifies as a “deep doctrine” because, while it’s a word that many people use, very few understand it. Much of…
Sketch of the day Omnibus Post.
In the middle of this batch, I went off on a week-long vacation. You can’t even tell!
