  1. @harrisomalley @ales_kot we shall be in thrall to its eldritch majesty. &c.
  2. "He was the kind of man who locked his car doors as he passed through the neighbourhoods in which his customers lived."
  3. @ales_kot (Although someday @harrisomalley and I are going to make a Lovecraft Bingo.)
  4. @ales_kot That's why I'm always amused when people try to adapt Lovecraft to comics. I don't believe it can be done & retain power of prose.
  5. Timed the beers in the freezer perfectly. Ice-cold without being beercicles. #win
  6. @NateCosBOOM Do it! I'm in the middle of a long, really difficult book and the whisper of fun short pulp pieces becomes ever louder.
  7. @boastfulbadger I am not normally pedantic. Language evolves, &c but some things are just wrong. "Gifting"= grammatic equiv of Ugg boots.
  8. @bevismusson It's a horrible, smarmy misuse first perpetuated by PR hacks, and it must be strangled in its crib.
  9. PEOPLE OF AMERICA! GIFTING. IS. NOT. A. VERB. WHAT YOU MEAN IS "GIVING". KTHANXBAI.
  10. Insufferable is really fun and suspenseful/pageturney. Luckily, I've now read all that's up so I can GO DO MY OWN WORK. thrillbent.com
  11. Crap. All my writing time today has been spent reading the 4 instalments of @MarkWaid 's Insufferable: thrillbent.com .
  12. MT @warrenellis GREAT article on book cover design in the digital age: craigmod.com/journal/hack_t… take, read, learn.
  13. This is great. @timmarchman writes for a mainstream audience what many of us have long said about cape comix: online.wsj.com/article/SB1000…
  14. MT @comicsalliance Claire Hummel! Princesses! Dresses! And an AWESOME Harley Quinn: comicsalliance.com/2012/05/26/cla… see pretty!
  15. @ben_towle my vote is that it goes in D. C is for Cleopatra? L is definitely for Leviathan.
  16. Ha, this is a really good post on freelancers and choosing between unpaid/creator-owned and paid gigs: blog.sallyjanethompson.co.uk/2012/03/22/fre…
  17. On page 151 of Margaret the Damned. In the home stretch. Probably 20-25 pages to go.
  18. @darrylayo @johannadc @debaoki the 4/$10 being Blue Estate, which I really enjoyed. Quite dense.
