Watch the sweaty '80s original instead - it's pretty underrated! My review of Youngblood for @spectrumculture.bsky.social.
I wrote about Mitski's latest, which has me firmly back on the bandwagon after not being a huge fan of her last two. Noisy, nervy Mitski is very much my speed.
A cover of the book Sleep Walk by Charles Johnston featuring a picture of someone walking down an alley at night in a Stephen King book from the '80s style.
Happy World Book Day!!!

The cover for the novella Sleep Walk by Charles Johnston featuring a dark silhouette walking down an alley at night. The garish orange and green colours and font make it look like a Stephen King cover from the '80s.
Happy World Book Day!!!

THE MOMENT is now on PVOD. Enamored still w/ Hailey Gates' line deliveries (What’s metaphorical cocaine?) & how the film so refreshingly skewers the apparatus of fame, exploring how living your life just becomes one long exercise in brand management:
We have openings for writers to review music, film and/or books. DM us for more info.
A guitar effects pedal called "Nichorus Cage' with a cartoony picture of the actor in a moment from the movie Con Air. The pedal has rate and depth knobs as well as a switch for a 'deeper' effect.
I might have to start playing guitar again just to justify buying this effects pedal.

There will be cake. My review of For Worse for @spectrumculture.bsky.social.
Still processing this, but what a pleasure it was to chop it up with a true master for a bit.
An essay I wrote about Akira Kurosawa's final film, Madadayo, as part of a series where writers at @spectrumculture.bsky.social explored the cinema master's rich body of work.
Just read the Kalevala instead. #booksky

A screenshot of the homepage for horror.org, the Horror Writers Association, featuring the logo of a raven and a strip of book covers for new horror novel releases.
It's a dream to be featured on the horror.org website! (Check out charlesjohnston.ca for more info about my novella Sleep Walk. And if you've read it, and feel like writing about it, leave me a review somewhere, anywhere - it helps a lot! ) #books #booktok #bookstagram
WE RECOMMEND: My Father’s Shadow
"A work of autofiction, Akinola Davies Jr.'s film is by no means a vacation, and many of the struggles it depicts are ever-present."
Here it is now, it entertains us !

The only thing that feels copied is the reincarnation angle, but that was in three different Dracula movies in the '70s so it wasn't even an original Coppola idea.
My first novella, called SLEEP WALK, was published last Thursday. Thank you so much for the signal boost. Details are here: books.friesenpress.com/store/title/...
