I've been trying to dedicate the weekend to finishing
revising my current short story because I plan to include it in my upcoming
book of fiction, The Hidden. And can you believe I haven’t
even touched the story in all day and it’s already past 10 in the evening? That’s
because life in this country is run by an institution that has little concern
for the artist as much as he/she is trying to make money off of their work. The
institution: the economy. So I’ve been trying to meet that institution’s inevitable
demands. And because I’m trying to squeese dedication to my short story into
this weekend, I decided to take it a little easy with this week's post and give
you some . . .
Far Out Fantastic Finds
A public library in Boise, Idaho had their annual
comic book convention today! One of few public libraries to have a comic
convention. This is another great example of how comic books are becoming more
accepted into the literary canon!
The founder of the horror pod cast series, HorrorAddicts, has a novel out on podcast. It sounds like a phantastic one since it
involves a woman who can paint things that come to life and a house with plenty
of haunts. I haven't had a chance to listen to it myself but I
definitely plan to. So check it out!

It might shock some of you to find out where this Con
was held at. But knowing Lovecraft's racist manner of thinking, maybe it's not
too shocking. I'd like to eventually do an entire post on this one. So look out
for that but, in the meantime, check this article out.
5) “All the Most Thrilling Science Fiction andFantasy Books Coming This Fall”
This fall? I'm still trying to finish up the summer!
But I can't say that there's that tinge of looking forward to the dark season,
as I call it. One of my favorite hallowdays
fall within it. But until then check out the sneak peaks of these heavy books,
including Stephen King's Bazaar of Bad
Dreams! Now I dig that title, totally! Speaking about bazaars, check out my
bizarre bazaar story in my collection, TheFool's Illusion.
7) And check out this out'a sight ray punk site,
called Raypunk.org. Unfortunately, as interesting as its
articles are, it hasn't been updated since 2013. But with so little out there
on atom punk which is a next door neighbor in alternative history to ray punk,
it's worth checking out.
Until next time . . .
the martian should be a good film. I read some of the book on google books.
ReplyDeleteI need to read that one. It sounds interesting, especially when Mars is becoming such a hot topic again particularly with the new discoveries the rovers are making.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the plug!
ReplyDeleteNo problem Emz! I'm always happy to promote fellow artists/writers' work. : )
