The Price You Pay
Aidan Truhen
Holiday weekend read: Aidan Truhen’s delightfully savage THE PRICE YOU PAY. https://t.co/ZekIh7iQ1U

Afraid to Death
Marc Behm
More than halfway through AFRAID TO DEATH by Marc Behm and loving it. Imagine James M. Cain writing an adaptation of Hammett’s Flitcraft parable directed by David Lynch. It’s a metaphysical page-turner and highly recommended. https://t.co/Gn1tD6LtdO

White Light
Rudy Rucker
@marc_laidlaw Rudy Rucker's WHITE LIGHT and Bruce Sterling's ARTIFICIAL KID definitely appeared (I own them!). But after that... nothing.

Fan Fiction
Brent Spiner
I'm reading @BrentSpiner's FAN FICTION right now and loving it. It's funny, surreal and propulsive... and I have a sneaking suspicion that the strangest parts are true. https://t.co/pDVIOdx1am

The Autopsy: Best Weird Stories of Michael Shea
Michael Shea
Just watched "The Autopsy," an episode of @RealGDT's CABINET OF CURIOSITIES on @netflix and it is outstanding. The Michael Shea short story is one of my all-time favorites, and I had no idea how one could ever adapt it... but damn, it's perfect. (And horrifying.) https://t.co/9DgYTzDiRG

Reacher: Killing Floor (Movie Tie-In)
Lee Child
@GennHutchison I'm 6'2", and nothing makes me happier than to be able to reach something for somebody. (Seriously.) This is why Lee Child named his hero "Reacher."

Anno Dracula - Dracula Cha Cha Cha
Kim Newman
New horror books in the house! I couldn’t resist this fancy new 30th anniversary edition of ANNO DRACULA by @AnnoDracula (signed, and with an intro by @neilhimself). And I’ve been looking forward to @monstersamerica’s DARK CARNIVALS for months now. https://t.co/CMINkpBeHb

Execution Style
Lani Lynn Vale
Gutted to learn about the untimely passing of Nicki Aycox. Nicki starred in a short film I wrote ten years ago ("Excution Style," directed by @LexiAlex), and was a total delight. Sending much love to her family and friends. https://t.co/EuOahGSc9C
