Good day everyone! Final update for October. I hope everyone has a great upcoming Halloween!
The Many Lives of the Twilight Zone
The academic collection, The Many Lives of the Twilight Zone, edited by Kevin Wetmore and Ron Riekki has been published by McFarland and is now out in the wild!
My contributor’s copy arrived and it looks awesome. The TOC sports some great academics.
My essay is titled “Strange Realities: Twilight Zone-sploitation in Encounter with the Unknown” and is probably the most in-depth article out there on the movie. Note: this essay is eligible for various 2022 short non-fiction awards out there, so if it is a piece you enjoy, consider recommending it!
The collection is available to purchase at McFarland.
Galliano Mai Tai
I’ve got quite a handful of cocktail books from the 70s and 80s, most of them filled with recipes of a dubious nature. However, it’s fun to play cocktail archeology and try out some of the recipes in these books.
I have a new old school recipe exploration written up. It is on the Galliano Mai Tai. It can be read here.
H. P. Lovecast Transmissions
This month’s Transmissions episode for HP Lovecast will feature interviews with Erika T. Wurth and Chris Philbrook. This episode will publish on the last day of this month – Halloween!
Galactic Terrors Vidcast
Galactic Terrors is a monthly YouTube midcast from the Horror Writer Association’s New York Chapter. Each episode features three authors doing readings followed by Q/A. I’ve been invited to appear on the program, which will stream November 10th.
If you want to know more about Galactic Terrors, check out their Facebook group or have a look at their episode archive on their YouTube channel. Michele was a guest last month, so check that episode out for sure!
Miscellaneous Tidbits
New Edge Sword and Sorcery
Issue 0 of the new magazine, New Age Sword and Sorcery, it out.
The magazine looks like a great endeavor to make the S&S genre more inclusive. The digital copy is free (link here), while the paperback and hardback iterations are available at cost (Amazon link here). Consider plucking up a copy, show interest, so the magazine can get a great start.
Amon Amarth Album Review
Hal C. F. Astell has a new review up at his Apocalypse Later website.
It is on the Viking metal outfit Amon Amarth’s new album, The Great Heathen Army. Check it out here.
