Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School.

A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country.

Since this seems to be the place to do it, here is a link to my novella, Icarus Is Dead. Read it if you like awesome things. Or don't, and continue being sad. Totally up to you.

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.
