It's the last day of #SDCC and my writing pals GMB Chomichuk and Jonathan Ball are in San Diego promoting their new comic from @imagecomics.com "The Eye Collector" which you should check out! They're also slinging books and prints at the Stranger Fiction table in the small press area.

Just finished Bukowski's Broken Family Band by A.W. Glen and loved it! Highly recommend if you want something weird and Winnipeg (and it's SO weird and SO Winnipeg) or you've ever cared about your local music scene.

The cover of Bukowski's Broken Family Band by A.W. Glen. The title is rendered in a black font on a greyscale background. A woman with long black hair and bangs covering her eyes stands with her arms at her side. A green electric guitar is slung in front of her. Her white sweater and guitar are both stained with what appears to be blood.

This week has been testing my "at least it's a dry cold" philosophy, but the wind has died down, so it was a beautiful night for a walk.

Me with the hood of my black winter jacket up, only my eyes and a bit of skin on either side visible behind a frost-covered scarf and balaclava.

My Kickstarter copy of Dragon Slayers is finally here! Thanks, @gilarpgs.bsky.social for a great looking book, can't wait to read it!

I'll take it.

Well I'm not giving up prose for illustration anytime soon, but I did win the "Draw a Ghost" contest at last night's Halloween party. A niche 90s club reference was a surprising hit with the voters!

An amateur illustration of a grey t-shirt, black pants, and platform boots with no body inside. A simple ghost face of two black eyes and a screaming void mouth are above the neck of the shirt. A red thought balloon reads in all caps: WHAT DO YOU MEAN DIE MASCHINE IS CLOSED!

Just started this Indigenous horror web series! Found on CBC Gem!

Close up of flat screen TV paused on the title of The Bannocking, written in red capital letters. Reflection of a plant and a lamp can be see on the left of the screen.

Every now & again my wife do a buddy read and grab the same book from the library and bookstore so we don't have to wait for the other person to finish so we can start discussing it. Our most recent buddy read was @wnwagner.bsky.social's GIRL IN THE CREEK! Loved the eco/fungal body horror vibes.

Two copies of Wendy N. Wagner's book Girl in the Creek standing on a broken slab of cement and propped up against a log fallen in a river. One copy has a library bar code, the other does not.

Between smoke, heat, and work, managed my first run in over a month. Likely to pay for it tomorrow, but happy to be back on track.

A picture of me (a bearded white man with a doo rag on and ear buds in my ears) sweaty and winded from running.

It was too cold for tauntauns this afternoon, so I'm thrilled to see it'll be -32C before considering windchill tomorrow morning when I leave for work. But hey, at least it's a dry cold!

Went for a snowy after supper walk.

A bare tree diffuses the light of the lamp post behind it. Snow swirls in the sky.

That canceled TV show you'll never stop thinking about?

A lot of my S&S projects take place in a shared world created with 3 other writers & inspired by the work of Robert E. Howard & H.P. Lovecraft. My stories are often set in the city of Khyber full of rogues, cultists & dead gods waking or islands full of viking-inspired necromancers. sharedworld.ca

A fantasy map of a port city called Khyber from the Shared World sword and sorcery series created by Jonathan Ball, GMB Chomichuk, James Gillespie, and Chadwick Ginther. A skeletal hand appears to be pointing at a site on the map. Text reads: "Khyber City of Secrets." Khyber was created by Chadwick Ginther, the map illustrated by GMB Chomichuk

While it didn't make the October rewatch list, I love The 'Burbs. This viewing was a nice way to end a holiday.

I have this Moon Knight meme, because it never fails to make me laugh.

Moon Knight descending a set of stairs with a speech balloon reading, "I know you're here, Dracula, you big fucking need. Where's my goddammit money?" The image is from 1987’s Solo Avengers #3 in the story “Tower of Shadows,” by Tom DeFalco, Mark Bright, Josef Rubinstein, Ken Feduniewicz, and Jack Morelli.

And now for something completely different but equally on brand: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

Final flick on the rewatch list for October: Pumpkinhead! I remember next to nothing about this one other than Lance Henriksen is in it and that is enough for me.
