This is for the Italian movie obsessives like me. Check out this new record from CAM Sugar, a compilation of music from Italian westerns (with deeper cuts than you might expect). Lots of pictures for my likeminded friends.

Great episode of CBS Radio Mystery Theater today: The Hound of the Baskervilles (1977). A condensed but faithful adaptation with Kevin McCarthy playing Sherlock Holmes. He’s excellent in the role. Builds to a crescendo with the night walk across the fog-shrouded moor.

For the evening crowd: my historical crime novel THE COLD DARK FOREVER is now available in print and ebook!

Part love letter to the California Central Coast, part homage to classic Gold Medal paperbacks—take a ride through the twisted shadows of wartime California.
A novel cover depicting Big Sur’s Bixby Bridge in black and white with bubbles rising from the surface.

Some men have a record. Preston Block has a file the size of War and Peace marked REDACTED.

Who is he? Find out in Cell Block: Dead Men in Old Stone by @fugitivecourier.bsky.social

Amazon/Kobo:
books2read.com/deadmenoldst...

Itch:
point-of-impact.itch.io/dead-men-in-...
“Preston Block,” Warden Jessup intoned, “no middle name. Age 38. Height, five-eleven. Weight, one hundred sixty pounds. Brown hair, brown eyes. No tattoos.” Jessup was reading from the first page of Block’s official prison transcripts, the file folder that came with him on every trip to a new facility. Most convicts had a few simple pages in a manila folder. No different than what you’d see in any office anywhere, and updated so infrequently as to be permanent — the paper aged, brittle and yellow, before anything really important was ever added. Block’s file was as thick as an old car repair manual, and just about as useful. “A list of former incarcerations as long as my arm, it seems,” Jessup continued, “but hardly anything worthwhile beyond a list of locations. No criminal history, no sentencing outlines or adjustments, no reprimands, no mental health evaluations, no parole hearing notes — that last one is not atypical for lifers like you, really — but it is unusual, to say the least.” Cover for Cell Block: Dead Men in Old Stone, by Sterling Dodge

DID YOU KNOW my newest novel, THE DARKER THE NIGHT, is available in audio?

Matt knew it wouldn’t be easy convincing his ex Lilly their son should have a chance to live with his dad. Lilly is dead set against the idea.

Now she’s just dead, and Matt is the prime suspect.

Listened to a good episode of CBS Radio Mystery Theater: The Phantom House (1977). In the 1880s, sisters stay with a family friend in Virginia, & one sees a mysterious mansion. She's told the house burned down in 1863, during the war. Turns out the vengeful owner is reaching out from the grave.
