Upcoming

I managed to sell 50 copies of my ebook on Fecund Horror in my first month. I promised if that happened I’d watch It Follows and write about it…which is what I’m planning to do on Monday. So watch for that over on Patreon (it’ll be free.)

I also need to write another vampire essay this month. Maybe on Let the Right One In?

Also, as a benefit for $10/mo subscribers, I’ve offered to let people commission essays. I’ve only had two folks take me up on it so far; so over the next month or two I’m committed to writing about Mark Millar’s comic Nemesis and the film, Dude, Where’s My Car?
 
Patreon

I posted my essay on Lair of the White Worm and obvious penises for $2/mo subscribers.

I am going to publish a book called Your Favorite Superhero Sucks probably in early September. My son drew an awesome cover for it which $1/month subscribers can see here.
 
Utilitarians Everywhere

At Playboy I wrote about the Suicide Squad and the dream that the people we imprison will love us anyway.

At Quartz I wrote about the virtues of teaching children to curse.

At Splice Today I wrote about

—John Ford’s The Last Hurrah, Trump and how you can’t tell the fascism from the democracy.

—two great banjo albums by Kaia Kater and Nathan Bowles.
