Excited to be in Little Rock today and tomorrow for Six Bridges Book Festival. I’m on a panel tomorrow at 11:30 with Lucas Schaefer, author of THE SLIP (one of my favorite books of the year), moderated by my pal Eli Cranor.

Out now! I have a new story in this anthology called “Arlene.” Think a mix of VERTIGO, PSYCHO, and REAR WINDOW in late ’80s southern Brooklyn. I hope you’ll pick it up! titanbooks.com/72625-birds-...

Nope. No relation. But I love his books, especially Only the Dead Know Brooklyn. Sorry for slow reply—BlueSky no longer works where I live so I haven’t had access until leaving the state.

Finally watched EEPHUS. A weird meatball. My favorite movie of the year so far.

Recommend @wmboyle4.bsky.social’s Saint of the Narrows Street for all the usual reasons but also for the names of the bars.

In this month’s installment of my @southwestreview.bsky.social movie column, I wrote about OVER THE EDGE, THE DRILLER KILLER, THE HUNGRY GHOSTS, and BLOOD IN BLOOD OUT. Also included is a little detour about an axe I used to keep handy back in college. southwestreview.com/i-wake-up-st...

Hell yeah. It seems like Bood In Blood Out (Bound by Honor) is an influential film held dear by some people and totally unknown to others. It's not a perfect movie but I love seeing it get its due.

Thanks! Well, I hope you like your beach reads dark and sad, ha.

Yeah, I love her poems. This novel follows that same characters from her ‘97 collection JIMMY & RITA.
