By now new followers who came here after reading my story in IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD may know I'm mostly known for my work in the splatter/extreme genre. If you're looking for something more like "Every Dog Has Its Day", the novel of mine you're gonna want to look into is SLOWLY WE ROT.

Weird. Checked over here for the first time in several hours and see I supposedly have 30+ notifications. Which would be really unusual as I don't post a lot lately. Then I click on it and all I see is the same old notifications from before today. What the hell is that?

Watched NORMAL on HBOMAX. Loved it. For the first little bit, it seems like it's going to be one kind of movie, and I would have been okay with that kind of movie. Then it took a turn I wasn't expecting, and from that point forward, it's non-stop, brutal mayhem. Might just have to own my own copy.

The iPhone maker’s shares hit a session high of $342.89 on Tuesday, giving it a market capitalisation of $5.04tn (£3.78tn), then eased back down to $340.08 – around the $5tn mark. Continue reading...

RIP Jennifer Finch. I've been a big fan of L7 since the early 90s and lots of their songs are still in my regular rotation. "Shitlist", "Pretend We're Dead", "Off the Wagon", "The Masses Are Asses", and many more. This one is one of my favorites.
