The D&Q editions are superb. I own the entire John Stanley Little Lulu and these new volumes are still a must. So beautiful. Little Lulu: The Little Girl Who Could Talk to Trees – Drawn & Quarterly https://t.co/4TjCCf2P5z

We joyously watched a good DVD copy of THE BLACK BOOK (1949) by Anthony Mann. Great Noir template set against the Terror of Robespierre's France. Richard Baseheart (always great) steals it. It's a relief to see a good transfer. Looking for a Blu-ray now. https://t.co/HPyk8NW8zm

The Decapitated Chicken and Other Stories by Horacio Quiroga. Quiroga is one of the very best storytellers and you will never forget his otherworldly images and gut punch endings. The Feather Pillow and the title story are perfect examples of this.

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse (2022, Baynton, Mackesy) is a heart-warming thing of beauty. A Haiku done with superb artistic and technical skill. Look for it, please!! https://t.co/dO70CkkVsb

Towards the year's end I'm planning to paint model kits and read a lot of books for historical research on my next project (and visual background research in paintings and engravings) but I'm curious about what new release books you guys may suggest (reading REVIVAL by King next)

Guillermo del Toro

Monster midway: An uninhibited look at the glittering world of the carny by William Lindsay Gresham. A companion piece of sorts, for Nightmare Alley. Unforgettable and vivid. A look into a hidebound society in the fringe of early twentieth century America.

THROUGH THE WOODS by Emily Carroll. The stories Carroll creates have a deep, literary-grounded feel but they are entirely original. Her voice is unique and powerful and I, for one, am addicted to it.
