Az egyik fordításom ott van az Év könyve szavazáson.
Nem kérem, hogy szavazzatok rá (ha igen, köszi), de ha úgy gondoljátok, olvassátok el.
Ideális bekuckózos őszi/téli olvasmány esős/borús napokra, cozy horror, ami puha takaróval és egy bögre forró itallal az igazi.

Looks like we made a deal on the SF comic book with a Hungarian publisher, although we're still working out the details. We'll be contacting French publishers as well.

THE LONG WALK (2025) - Fairly good adaptation even if they changed the ending & cut out a lot of characters and the crowd scenes. I love these lads, good casting, genuine examples of positive young male behavior against tyranny and selfish trolls. Beautifully shot and directed. Hamill ham. Good.

This article from Quietus on the best 25 horror books of the 21st century will definitely spark some debate. Some great books here, and a few I haven't read. But we're pleased to see Attila Veres's THE BLACK MAYBE at #3 on this list! thequietus.com/tq-charts/he...

Always disappointed with indie creators who waste time typing out things like "Yes the music's AI but it's just placeholder and I can't do music and I can't affor-"

Spend 10s typing "Free ambient SFX" into a search bar instead. A bit of spooky groaning or sweet birdsong can do a game wonders.

Finally read Something Wicked This Way Comes; didn't love it, but I liked parts of it. Sometimes its vagueness is poetic, sometimes it stands in the way of proper storytelling. It's of its time to a fault, but it has timeless qualities. I still prefer Bradbury's short stories.
