If I was to able to vote in the upcoming U.S. election I'd probably write-in for Betty Boop.
I wrote about the excellent horror mockumentary GHOSTWATCH for my ongoing horror series. www.patreon.com/posts/113549...
Only a genius overflowing with so many ideas such as Chuck Jones would create characters brimming with so much personality such as the star cats in this, and then only utilize them for this one-shot. I was gobsmacked when I watched this one. How did it not warrant follow ups!
Hello! Another beautiful fall weather day in St. John's. 13 degrees and gorgeous golden sunshine lighting up a clear blue sky. The leaves are beginning to fall off the trees and the wind is a quiet, cool murmur. Make the world a better place in a small way today!
You should pivot to daily weather reports and wisdoms of good fortune ala David Lynch but the joke is that virtually no one who follows you on bsky actually lives here so the St John's forecast is useless to all.
Back when writers could live off of what they earned from selling short stories they sure did write a lot! My 4 Matheson collections total 60 unique stories, less than half of his total shorts. Even more surprising is Charles Beaumont, who died at 38, and yet he still wrote like a hundred shorts.
While it is refreshing to a see a page like this in a 2020s horror short story collection, showing that there still exist SOME pubs that put out shortform, I'll admit my ignorance that I'm mostly unfamiliar with them, and the only time I hear about short stories being published is thru Amazon Kindle
I'm very fond of Paul Tremblay's 2 short story books but yeah, the traditional market for short story anthology is so depleted you kinda have to be a proven successful author to get a short story collection published, as they don't sell as well as novels.
