I just read Kant’s quote “not every extravagance of opinion deserves the trouble of a careful refutation.” and sweet fuck the man would absolutely hate the Internet.

Conservative talking heads: The new Superman movie is too woke about immigrants and is clearly an unfair critique of Trump's immigration policies. Superman was never meant to be that political.

January, 2026: in a bookstore near you: from James Aquilone & Monstrous Books: The paperback edition of "Kolchak Eras", collecting prose stories (including my "Wolf's Clothing" in which Carl hunts the Georgia Werewolf) covering Carl's life.

As Carl said: "Kolchak's coming back in style!"

I taught @tcboyle.com’s “Greasy Lake” to my ENGL 1102 class a few weeks ago, and showed the kids this picture. They asked if I hoped to be that cool when I was in my seventies.

I said I’d be happy if I were half that cool.

RIP Norm…

I hope everybody knows your name there and they’ve saved you a corner stool.

Started a new story this week: “Dragon Country,” a rural fantasy ( as opposed to urban fantasy) retelling of Robert Penn Warren’s poem of the same name.

This is the third project I’m working at the same time, something I’ve never done before.

I’m doing a thing I've never done before: working on three stories at one time. "Good Night, Sweet Prince," my hardboiled retelling of Hamlet; "A Graveyard of the Dead," a sequel to the Count Orlok, PI, story from the Nosferatu Unbound anthology, 1/2

I always feared I’d live to see the rise of an American dictator. As a child I feared I’d live to see the coming of the Antichrist.

I never dreamed either of them would be such dumbasses, though….

Doctor’s Office music playing classic rock and easy listening. Not gonna lie: “Mr. Bojangles” may be the saddest song of the seventies. Followed by almost anything by Gordon Lightfoot.

New story started: tentatively titled “Graveyard of the Dead”. A follow-up to last year’s “The Last Dead Girl” in which “Nosferatu”’s Count Orlock is a private eye in Savannah Georgia.
