Barnes & Noble and HarperVia asked me to talk a bit about my work translating Uketsu for the B&N Reads blog to coincide with the release of Strange Buildings. It's up!

Strange Translations
I seem to have become known as "Uketsu's English translator," which is certainly not a bad thing to be. But it does mean I get quite a lot of questions about the works, some of which I can't even answer. Like, no, I don't know how Uketsu got his ideas. No, I haven't seen under his mask.

The awsome Michelle Delgado of the Scare Me! Newsletter very graciously interviewed me about horror (Japanese et al.) and translating Uketsu, and it is now live!
I really need to work on my verbal tics. Way too many "like"s and "very"s...

Jim has two translations coming out next month, and they're some great ones: Strange Buildings and The Ark.

Upcoming Translations
2026 is well under way. January has blurred by, and as February approaches I am stunned to realize that I have two translations coming out next month. First up is a title that has probably flown under the radar for many. The Ark by Haruo Yuki is a dark mystery about a group of university friends and one hapless family trapped in a bizarre underground building after an earthquake.

Lol, the "search terms" box inside WordPress never seems to work but one did register today.
No, buddy, it's not real.
Unless it is?

Have been taking a little break from board gaming to do some reading. Listened to the #StrangeHouses audiobook. Now I’m reading #StrangeBuildings

And I have #StrangePictures queued in my ebook library account

A lonely hut. A hidden chamber. Uketsu's Strange Buildings connects them all into one dark puzzle. Xan reviews the bestselling Japanese mystery without spoiling the horror. Full review: youtu.be/d65634RIheQ

Useless Facts, Badly Drawn #444: The World's Littlest Skyscraper.

"The World's Littlest Skyscraper" or the Newby-McMahon Building in Wichita, Texas was built in the 1910s by a con artist who promised investors a new skyscraper. But his blueprints used inches instead of feet (e.g. 480" tall versus 480' tall). According to legend, nobody noticed till it was too late, and a judge ruled it legally binding. It stands just 40 ft or 12 m tall, and is listed as a Texas Historic Landmark.

Strange Buildings is my favorite Uketsu book so far. Still weird, but also very, very sad.
