I want to buy an old blockbuster video location, restore it to its glory days, and instead of stocking it with video, fill it with books. Particularly genre books.

I will call it Blookbuster. Or Blockbookster. Or Blookbookster.

I don’t discuss philosophy.
I don’t study history.
All I know is what’s past is past, and what’s ahead is ahead.
The second is ka, and takes of itself.

~Roland, The Dark Tower, by Stephen King

Marvel missed out by not having a Loki variant from Timeline Six Seven named Lowkey: God of “Mid”schief. Crocodini Houdini. He won’t steal your keys but he’ll lose the lid to your OJ, no cap. “What is this pith? Where’s the Priiiime! I need hydrates deadass!”

And for the record, no I didn’t “help” the store out by putting the book into a more visible location. Not saying I wouldn’t, or haven’t done that. 😬 But not today! It was already there. was walking by and almost didn’t stop until I saw it. 😆

I can’t tell you how much joy I take in finding books from writers that I know at airports. It doesn’t matter if it’s the first time I have found a book of theirs or if they are a regular rotation, it’s always fun to see their work find a bigger audience.

Check out Craig DiLouie’s newest book MY EX, THE ANTICHRIST on the front display stand at the Laguardia NYC airport!

Watching the morning lift of TSLA bros who think they are “buying the dip” only to watch the stock crash for the rest of the day has been my favorite form of doom scrolling.

Whether it’s rockets, stocks, self-driving cars or parties: Elon has proven he’s excellent at crashing things.

Done!

Thanks! It’s been fun to put together. I collected the books over the past couple years but this is the first year I added the extra decorations. I kinda dig em 😁

Jason Murphy @roadies.bsky.social · Dec 23

This is amazing! I would have done it too 😆 (Hi Cat and Tony!)

Will 2025 be the year I start the writing discipline? Who knows. But to be honest I am not rushing it. I have much more genre to read—specifically chosen to learn style, pacing, world building, and character development—before I feel comfortable molding my own literary clay.

I started 2024 thinking I would begin my writing journey. After a couple failed starts, I knew I needed to spend more time with the greats. I read and read (and read some more). The education has been life-changing.

This story has deep, dark layers to it! It’s an amazing read. Can’t wait to dive in again when I get my production copy—with a badass @tjoneswriter.bsky.social signed postcard too (collecting full set might be a challenge..but that won’t stop me)

Tyler Jones @tjoneswriter.bsky.social · Dec 21

Limited edition postcards for those who ordered my novel NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIVES on the first day of preorder.

Each order will receive one signed postcard with a quote from the book.

The novel, signed by me and Ronald Malfi is still available to order from Earthling Publications.
