My new book, THE FLESH KING is out today and available everywhere your get your books. But I’d feel like an ass if I didn’t mention new books by two of my favorite writers: THE ESSENTIAL HORROR OF JOE R. LANSDALE and SHADOW TICKET by Thomas Pynchon. Why not go nuts and get all three?

Thank you. I'm looking forward to getting into the Pynchon.

I really appreciate that.

When you pay for your stuff at Spirit Halloween (I bought a pile today) you can donate to Spirit of Children, a charity that brings Halloween to sick kids. So, when you're buying your sexy Exorcist costume or animatronic spider, consider kicking in a few extras bucks.

Because my new book is out today I thought I’d do something completely ridiculous but also necessary.

Thank you for the link, but I left Spotify recently. Are the mixes available anywhere else?

I've been talking about David Bowie with some brilliant friends today. The discussion brought to mind one of Bowie's greatest gifts to us: a list of his 100 favorite books. If you're ever at a loss for something to read, consider checking the list.

Though one of his songs is titled "I Can't Read", David Bowie was actually quite the voracious reader.

I love Pynchon, but I learned it while reading a book on Kabbalisitc lore.

And, awful as so many things are right now, I'm happy to be alive now when I can experience their work.

I would have been hyper too. Qliphoth isn't a word you hear often and I have to respect anyone who's even aware of it.

The two Davids—Bowie and Lynch—are the only celebrities I can remember shedding a tear for.

I understand your original reluctance. It was a very kind thought.
