THE DARKER THE NIGHT is coming 2026 from
@RowanProse!

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.

Still got a few copies. Who wants one?
Ooooo, look what I've got!

Who wants a signed copy of my weird western novella, SINNERS RIDE?

Print also has two, bonus, never-before-in-print short stories, including the Derringer-nominated "The Right to Hang!"

Finally finished this. What a slog. No wonder it never got a paperback. It isn't the worst book I've read, but it's Fischer's worst. Just a collection of minute suburban life details sprinkled with clues for a crime that happened off-page. I no longer even cared about the mystery after 50 pages.

Fell out of a badly damaged old paperback that just showed up. Sounds like an awesome place.

What a disappointment. It's a partial rewrite of Deming's earlier PBO, Kiss and Kill. The structure is slightly different, but the character names and overall plot are identical halfway through.

My wife bought this. I saw it once as a kid.

Can anyone help me figure out what this movie is? Someone told me about it quite a while ago and I don't remember who or I'd ask them directly, because I remember the set-up, but not the title and Google has been useless.

I know literally nothing about this movie. It came in a lot with a movie I wanted to see. Fingers crossed.

@coyhall.bsky.social thanks for the share!

If you like the intergenerational secrets of Lew Archer, the bruised empathy of Matthew Scudder, and the no-exit morality of the works of S.A. Cosby, you might just love THE DARKER THE NIGHT, coming in July from @RowanProse.

#slasher #moviereview 1980's SHADOWS OF THE MIND--I spent so much wasted effort tracking this down so that you don't have to.

I have finally obtained one of the holy grails of my collection: the one Richard Deming novel published under his own name that isn't a media tie-in or novelization that I didn't own. Never published outside of the UK, never received a paperback edition.
