My review of long-awaited new Tiffany Scandal book Shit Luck. It is...not what you'd expect it to be. At all!
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is NOT your typical sprawling space opera. It's smarter, deeper and more humane. Starring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna and Riz Ahmed. Directed by Gareth Edwards.
My review of Brian Evenson's excellent post-apocalyptic novel Immobility, which I urge any critical thinking apologist to pick up.
Not quite the best books of 2016 but darn close! Here are my notable reads of 2016, featuring Paul Michael Anderson, Autumn Christian, Joe Clifford, Seb Doubinsky, John D. MacDonald, Grant Morrison, Jon Padgett, Danger Slater, Will Viharo and Sam Wiebe.
Interview with Brian Evenson, author of Last Days, Immobility, The Warren and many others. We discussed his legacy, genre fiction, institutions and contemporary audiences and more!
Don't let the words "debut short story collection" scare you away. Paul Michael Anderson's the real deal and Bones are Made to be Broken is one of a kind.
Max Booth III's new novel The Nightly Disease is almost available to the general public. Start making a line, people. It's his best work yet!
2015 was a good year for subtle and atmospheric weird fiction. Find out which stories stood out here.

Why wasn't The Abyss as popular as other James Cameron movies? Read my review of this cult classic to find out how intellectually ambitious this project was for a blockbuster film.
No Love Deep Web is a bleak and unique offering in Death Grips' discography. Read my review to discover the finer traits of this timeless classic.
The Secret of Ventriloquism by Jon Padgett is the real deal. Now, click on my review to know why it's one of the most refreshing and original things I've read all year.
Scorch Atlas probably is the most read/talked about book by Blake Butler. Here are my thoughts on it and how it compares to his already impressive legacy.
This is a review/analysis of one of my favorite David Lynch movie Lost Highway. It's a challenging film, yet thoroughly enjoyable when you come in equipped to understand what's going on. Spoilers ahead, obviously. Not that it's the kind of film where spoilers really mater.
Michael Allen Rose's Boiled Americans is unconventional and challenging. Not your Sunday afternoon reading, but it will appeal to the most adventurous readers out there.
The Neon Demon is Nicolas Winding Refn's second masterpiece. Whether you're not sure if you should watch it or if you don't understand it, check out my review/analysis. It's spoiler free.
Seb Doubinsky's novella Omega Gray couldn't be any more different than his previous work White City, yet it's smart and colourful allegory of the power of ideology.
Mark Rapacz' novel Foreigners is unique and disorienting to say the least. I wouldn't qualify my own feelings towards it too precisely, but it's worth experiencing for yourselves.
The most original and underrated new voice in weird fiction T.E Grau has a new book out. They Don't Come Home Anymore is his most accessible project to date, but it is ambitious and genre bending nonetheless. A fantastic read.
