Books of Blood, Vol. 2, by Clive Barker

Lovecraft got that, and even though Barker didn’t like Lovecraft for a long time, he gets it, too. Few other writers get it as deeply as they.

A Little Bird Tells You
- I don't like ending horror on final twists (tho sometimes it works), but just found old idea with nice last-panel punch. It's my next script 9 hrs ago
- Assuming I didn't mess anything up, I've placed my first semi-Split Lip-related t-shirt order. 3 days ago
- Conan, what is good? When you finish a novel, wonder what to read next, and a big box from Amazon is waiting at the mailbox. 3 days ago
- House of the Devil = Aesthetically dead on; dramatically a good deal too slow. A few nice bits at the end, though. 4 days ago
- Now _that's_ a Friday. Thirteen pages of script and a new Split Lip story is done. Next: Korean food. 4 days ago
- More updates...
