My Wife Will Tell You…I Do, In Fact, Enjoy Butts

I have mentioned Percival Everett on the ol’ NR before. Once in passing and, more recently, to demonstrate the difference between good fiction writing and not so good fiction writing. I write this current post as an attempt... (Continue reading)
Instantly Celestial…Richard Garfinkle’s Fiction of Imagination
I first discovered Richard Garfinkle whilst browsing the Sci-fi/Fantasy/Horror section of Aardvark Books (back in the days of yore, when I still lived in San Francisco, circa 2004). The cover you see to the left piqued my interest. I routinely... (Continue reading)
Summer’s Guilty Pleasure, Dance!

By and large, I hate reality shows. I don’t care how Tori Spelling changes her kids diapers, or who the fuck the bachelorette is going to choose only to break up with eight months later. I hate American... (Continue reading)

A Short List of Movies to Watch this Summer
When you’re sitting on your couch wearing nothing but your underwear because it’s so damn hot that your’re sweating so much anything more than just a pair of boxers sticks to your skin like duct tape, do you really want... (Continue reading)

There are many things in which Kilian and I don’t see exactly eye to eye. Kilian loves bacon, while I’m a vegetarian (I eat fish, but telling people you’re a pescetarian usually only causes confusion). Killing thinks that Werewolves are... (Continue reading)
