Spooky science never dies!
Listeners of the podcast may remember the episode we did on Lazarus Syndrome (season 2, episode 7), where elderly people were pronounced dead only to seemingly return to life a few hours later, often to the great surprise of funeral home staff. (1/2)

R.I.P. Udo Kier, who was a working actor from the 1960s until the present day. I knew him from movies like FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN and his work with Lars Von Trier, but I've seen him the most as Dr. Frank Mandel in an uncredited appearance in Dario Argento's SUSPIRIA. A true legend.

Tonight I watched Jacques Tourneur's NIGHT OF THE DEMON (1957), based on M.R. James's classic story "Casting the Runes." I hadn't seen it in years. Previously, I'd only seen the shorter CURSE OF THE DEMON cut. (1/2)

"Social media is making the current surge of antisemitic messaging more difficult to confront as outlandish statements and conspiracy theories flourish online. People who question the Holocaust and offer revisionist histories of World War II have found platforms on popular podcasts."

I've been writing professionally for 25 years.
I've been a finalist for four different literary awards.
I've been an Amazon and B&N bestseller twice over.
I still get rejections, and they still sting.

So bummed to be missing the Indie Horror Book Fair in Ridgewood today, but I console myself with the fact that the weather here in Orlando is amazing. I hope everyone sells lots of books, and I look forward to attending next year!

it is a fair argument to say that since 2008, as the guiding light of the capital class's leadership has dimmed off and on, each fluttering has been followed by a concerted effort by the wealthy elite to drive the entire country insane rather than permit us to look for leadership elsewhere

Last night's performance of ENDGAME at Irish Arts Center was fantastic! I'd never seen or read the play before, so I only knew it by reputation, and I was blown away not just by Beckett's words but also by the actors and the production as a whole!
