BEYOND EXCITED to read my featured interview in the latest issue of @ruemorguemag.bsky.social

My thanks go out to @monicaskuebler.bsky.social & @necromandrea.bsky.social this is an absolute dream come true

And for a non-Fulci, if anyone plans on putting out Bigas Luna's 1987 meta-horror ANGUSTIA in 2026 (this film needs a good release!) I would love to work on it

Manifesting for 2026

Blu ray / 4K producers! It is my absolute dream to work on more Fulci releases in 2026 (booklets, video essays, commentaries) especially:

- Beatrice Cenci (1969)
- The Eroticist (1972)
- Don't Torture a Duckling (1972)
- Four of the Apocalypse (1975)

My essay 'A Window Onto Pain: Fascism, Hegemony, and the Paradox of Memory in The House with Laughing Windows' discusses 3 recurring motifs in Pupi Avati's exemplary giallo: Sadism, Fascism, and the Church. It is my favourite short form piece i've written, and i'm so happy to share it with you all.

If you happen to have read and enjoyed my first book, The Vatican Versus Horror Movies, published 4 Feb 2025 by McFarland & Company , it is eligible for year-end awards in the non-fiction (long) category. Please consider recommending it to a horror-loving friend!
