October Programming

Benjamin Marra's rundown of the inspirations for his Night Business comics proved irresistible to me, so I went ahead and ordered them from his website. In the meantime, I'm going to cover a few more sleaze paperbacks, to keep the mood right.

Then I'm going to transition into horror, with a mix of groovy vintage paperbacks and newer novels that I hope you'll enjoy.

There are a couple of movies I'd like to review, but I'm finding it frustrating. Getting exactly the screenshots I want is proving to be extremely tedious, difficult, and sometimes impossible (if something important in-frame is blurry from motion at the instant I'm trying to capture). I'm also experimenting with making a video review to post on vimeo, but so far I'm not having much luck--yikes, I just look and sound totally stupid and amateurish on camera. Maybe I'm just too self-conscious and need to get over it?

As I've mentioned, since Blackest Night releases seem especially weighted toward the end of the month this time, I'll probably just do one big post after that last Wednesday.

Last and most important (to me, anyway), I'd love to post the next chapter of Night Falls on a Fairy Tale soon. This is the one where my werewolf enters the picture; from here on out, all monsters are present and accounted for, and it's all monsters all the time.

I hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start. Stay tuned, and stay groovy!
