Today is the birthday of Lester Dent (Oct. 12, 1904-March 11, 1959), cocreator & primary writer of Doc Savage.
A black and white photo of Dent. A cover to the Doc Savage Magazine featuring Doc holding some sort of small scepter. Behind him is the image of a group of soldiers in battle.

I stand by my comment that this isn't essential horror of Joe R. Lansdale, but essential horror, period. An absolutely flawless collection.

Last night, I finished THE ESSENTIAL HORROR OF JOE R. LANSDALE, a new collection out this week from @TachyonPub.

What a great collection! Every single story was superb: engaging, skillfully told and a little bit weird. Lansdale is simply a masterful storyteller.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Ask me for a list of authors to read if you want to write great horror and Joe Lansdale will be on that list. If you ask me for a crime list, Lansdale will be on the list. Great dialogue? Joe. Pacing? Lansdale. Wild shit that sounds like no one else? Joe Fucking Lansdale.

Firing allowed, training is not: Trump administration shares shutdown plans
The impending shutdown will be different than past government closures because the administration has threatened mass firings of federal staff, adding that it could use the lapse in funding to downsize the federal government.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"
