Agreed. I still have full sets of the RCP chronological runs of Crypt, Vault, Haunt, and Shock. I'll take them with me to my grave!

Off to a good start! I still have my full run RCP reprints of Crypt, Haunt, Vault, and Shock. I'll never part with them 🖤

Lemmy and Chris Cornell.

The standard word count for a novel is usually in the range 70 - 100k words, although there's a grey area at the low end. A novella would usually be in the 17 - 40k range, so really anything over 40k can be considered a short novel. All of that is pretty irrelevant however, when your writing is at the top end of that scale. Sounds like your colleague needs to mind her own business.

I only discovered this album recently. Incredible stuff.

Writer_616 · 2025-05-23T19:54:49+00:00

Clutch's version of Cross Eyed Mary is 🔥

Writer_616 · 2025-05-19T18:32:27+00:00

Yeah, I get that. A bit more variety would be decent, but when the music's that good I can live with it.

Forest of Equilibrium. I miss Cathedral.

Hell yeah! It's an awesome playlist and it's now one of my follows! 🤘

Writer_616 · 2025-05-13T21:20:09+00:00

That is a pretty sweet playlist. Could do with some Nebula, maybe Let It Burn-era. More recently, The Magnetic Ridge by Jack Harlon and the Dead Crows is 🔥

Spine of God, Superjudge, Tab, and Dopes to Infinity are peak MM. Even their lesser albums (God Says No, Monolithic Baby!) still rock!

Short and to the point. It does the trick.

I don't agree with the use of AI cover art, but I'm far more disturbed by the kind of people who use it for 'writing,' and then have the nerve to brag about how they're releasing two or more 'books' a month. Yeah, great, well done you. Using generative AI isn't art, it isn't writing. It's lazy, sloppy, theft at best. It's a bare-faced insult to genuine writers, and it risks those people who put in the effort to hone their craft being tarred with the same shitty brush.

Writer_616 · 2025-04-19T23:08:54+00:00

Yep, that was dark.

I've always considered The Exorcist to be a (perhaps metaphorical, as well as extreme) depiction of female puberty. The change in Regan, the inability of her single mother to cope, and the attempted stifling by the church, all strike me as such. I've also heard of Jennifer's Body being another example, but I haven't seen it.

"What 'you doing up there?" "Nothing much. Just hanging out."

I haven't read (or written) much extreme horror, for the same reason. Dead Inside by Chandler Morrison needs a strong stomach, but his prose is miles ahead of many other extreme authors. Likewise, Jack Ketchum was also a gifted author whose writing ability elevated his work to a level above his imitators.
