Personal Archaeology 36: The Digital Age
Stop me if you heard this one before: my inbox/Google Drive/hard drive is a mess. My folder of files from high school ported over from a floppy disk. While everyone out there is not a collector or hoarder, I'm sure than more of a few of us have opened our computers and gone searching for …
Books I Read Last Week While on Vacation
I just got back from a week at the beach, and just like every year that I go on vacation, I blew threw more than a few books. In this case, four that I'd packed. I also picked up three more because we went to a used bookstore and I just can't help myself in …
The Free Fall and Relic
Ah, more random-assed horror courtesy of Kanopy. I swear there's more than just horror on that streaming service. Anyway, these two movies were sitting in the queue and I decided to check them out over the last couple of weeks. Both involve weird crap happening to young women and have haunted house/things aren't as they …
Horror Stories
To say that Liz Phair is an important voice of my generation is an understatement. That being said, I really didn't know who she was when I was a teenager (beyond a certain Rolling Stone cover), preferring male-fronted bands really to any of the great Nineties bands that were helmed by or featured women. I've …
Table 19
I needed a break from all of the crappy horror movies I was watching, so I decided to go in the rom-com direction. Sitting on HBO Max was ensemble this film from 2019 about a group of randoms forced to sit together at a wedding reception's worst table. The center of the movie is Eloise …
My full-length FCBD Grabs of 2026
I've said it before and I'll say it again: one of the cooler things about a quarter-bin sale is when you find an entire run of a series. Last year, I found most of the Vertigo series Coffin Hill and Clean Room. In the past, it's been miniseries like Howard Chaykin's Blackhawk or randomin independent …

Tales from the Void
Kanopy had this Canadian horror anthology show from 2024 available for streaming. Running six episodes, it was based on the stories published in r/nosleep subreddit. Each episode consists of a mains tory along with an interview with the original writer. I like a good anthology series and six episodes seemed doable, so I jumped in. …
