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. …
Wait, how many demonic possession movies did I watch?!
I'm a casual horror person. Over the years, I've watched my fair share of slasher and zombie flicks, but lately I've been interested in stories about demonic possession. Maybe there's something alluring in stories about the fight for your soul against an evil entity. Too bad that a number of these movies are "meh," especially …

Army @ Love
When I rifled through the bins at last year's Baltimore Comic-Con. I came across several issues of a Vertigo series from several years back called Army @ Love. he covers looked intriguing enough, and though it would be interesting. I mean, how do you combine romance and war books? Cynically, it seems. Written by Rick …
Speed Running My Comics Piles
I know that I've tried to catalogue the individual comics that I've read here either in individual entries or groups of small reviews, but I've spent the last several days reading a huge stack of comics. While reading, I thought about doing those reviews but then realized the entry or entires would be incredibly tedious …
Firestar #1-4
Like many people in my generation, I'm familiar with the Marvel character Firestar from Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, and while I do know that she made her way into the Marvel Universe back in the Eighties, I wasn't 100% sure how except that it somehow involved the X-Men. I'd read maybe one or two …
