Officially starting my playthrough of Alisa.

I am still scouting for new authors to join us for Readers Digested, Vol. 3. For anyone at all curious, my DMs are always open. For more information about our Submission guidelines, check out this link: - mishmashers.com/read-blog/11...

Readers Digested, Vol. 1 focuses on stories of the unknown. - www.amazon.com/Readers-Dige...

Mishmashers Publishing is currently looking for flash fictions and novelettes for the next volume of Readers Digested - a horror anthology series. For information about submissions, see this link: mishmashers.com/read-blog/11...

Mortal Shell 2 will be out next year. I bought the original game on launch, along with Hellpoint. Did anyone play the DLC, post-game content they put out? Is it worth checking out? Here's my original review: www.readersdigested.com/game-review-...

I had the chance to head out to the theater and see Black Phone 2 last week. I took some time, let it marinate, and now I'm ready to share my thoughts with you guys about what I thought. #BlackPhone2 #BlackPhone

The first chapter of 52 Corpse Pick Up is now available on Readers Digested. I envisioned it as a crime black-comedy, blending my intrigue with serial killers and how they tick with a detective story, seasoned with a gnarly, zany sense of humor. www.readersdigested.com/chapter-one-...

I started playing #InNightmare, developed by Magic Fish Games. I am about an hour in, and I am, at the very least, intrigued by the peculiar mechanics. I was expecting a basic, gamer's first Outlast kind-of experience (which it may still turn out to be), and, honestly, I would be okay with that.

Gonna watch The Black Phone 2 tomorrow. I've been a longtime enjoy'er of Scott Derrickson's filmmaking - I loved Sinister and I consider Inferno to be, maybe, the second or third best Hellraiser (better than what people credit it for).

The Readers Digested will have original stories (some will be available free, others will require a subscription through our Patreon page). It will be a rotation. One story I wrote and am very proud of is The One-Two Punchline, which you can read freely. www.readersdigested.com/the-one-two-...

It isn't 'exactly' in its readiest of states, but I just couldn't bring myself not to celebrate it with the Halloween season. Rabies and germs, Readers Digested (dot) com ... Cheers. We'll eatcha alive! readersdigested.com

I had the chance to watch the new Peter Pan: Neverland Nightmare film. It's in the same world as that spooky-dooky Winnie the Pooh film that came out. It's better than it has any right to be.

I saw A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead was on sale and decided to scoop it. The asking price wasn't unreasonable on launch, but I think I had an immediate perception about what this game would be. It totally is that.

It bums me out the reviews aren't good for The Strangers: Chapter Two. It isn't that I was expecting much, personally, but, I mean, how rare is it you get a Trilogy of slashers filmed back-to-back-to-back. I would love it if a series like Friday the 13th got that kind of treatment. #TheStrangers

I just wrapped up my playthrough of Crow Country. Think Resident Evil / Silent Hill, with an art style that feels like a twisted Alice in Wonderland meets the retro look of Final Fantasy VII. I had a lot of fun with it. Recommend it. #CrowCountry

It's almost September now, which means I think it is close enough to spooky season to plug our horror anthology series Readers Digested. Each book has a collection of flash fiction, short stories, and novelettes from an array of different authors.

Hey, my brother and I have been writing a series about a white fox in a green scarf with bad anxiety and a Doberman who's more than a little "ruff" around the edges. Haha, get it? Ruff!? ... Yeah, ... imagine if Hannibal, Sly Cooper, and Sherlock Holmes had a kid. www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q5JT28D

I understand things get complicated. Copyright disputes. Studios closing. Return on investment, etc. However, it still boggles my mind that it has been fourteen years since we have gotten a BioShock game. Classics. Loved the whole series a bunch. #BioShock

It can never be understated how much Freddy Krueger, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and frankly, all of the Slasher movies from the eighties meant to me. Do I think every film is an absolute classic? Of course not. Do they have problems? For sure. Still though, the stuff helped make my childhood.

Interested in horror mags. Any recommendations? #horrormags I was thinking about Delirium, but wanted to use this to support some indies. I am as much interested in reading them as I am curious about their formatting and layout. (I am tinkering with the idea of making a horror e-mag.)

One of the biggest, most challenging obstacles I have faced with maintaining any type of social media presence is overcoming the overwhelming, ever present belief that whatever it is I am going to say doesn't need to be said. I envy the people who don't have that little voice in their head.

I have had a million different false starts with it, but I finally bit the bullet and committed to watching The Walking Dead with the wife. I'm invested. It isn't always my jam, but I have had little pockets of things I enjoy. Love Maggie and Glenn. People throwing around the name "Negan" now. Fuck.

Here's an update on Readers Digested, Vol. 3, a new horror anthology Mishmashers Publishing is putting together. mishmashers.com/read-blog/12...

I finished Poppy's Playtime: Chapter 4. I enjoyed it. Although none of these standalone releases are what I'd call great games, they come together for a solid horror videogame overall. I did encounter a lot more glitches in 4 than I did in 3, but I was able to circumvent all of them painlessly.

I am working on a new launch of Mishmashers.com. Basically, I am aspiring to create a social network for writers and readers, most especially indies. I want it to spotlight creators, build an ecosystem where we can curate and publish content, and help streamline self-publishing. It's in beta now.

I have been trying to reclaim some of my "horror" roots that have been lost in the last few years and celebrate new filmmakers' and original horror again. I watched In a Violent Nature and Attachment, both films available on Shudder.

I have recently started playing Poppy's Playtime 4. The series has been a fun, interesting time (one I'd actually recommend over the Five Night's at Freddy's games), borrowing from the aforementioned FNAF series and other surprising series' like BioShock and Portal. #PoppysPlaytime

How many of you still participate in #NaNoWriMo? I never have, but I have had three occasions where I've written a book in a month (but it wasn't in November). I am considering trying to participate this year.

Sometimes it can feel like there aren't enough hours in the day. I've begun working on some new projects, how about you? What are you writing today? #AmWriting

I watched the new Superman film yesterday. I was on the fence going iin, but I am happy to report I enjoyed it a lot. It being called one of the most "comic-book movies ever" wasn't hyperbolic, it feels like a Saturday Morning cartoon come to life. The film is hopeful and fun, colorful and vibrant.

Scott and I are currently placing the finishing touches on our latest novel Sylver & Gold, a spin-off of our "Canes" series with a Sci-Fi twist. This ones' really out there, and unlike anything we've ever written.

Not a great last couple days, ...

The story of #TheImposter remains one of the most surprising stories ever documented at such lengths. It is the type of film that needs to be seen to be believed. #Documentary #TrueCrime Review: - nickelbib.com/movie-review...

Two years ago, we got Saw X, which was, surprisingly, one of (if not the) best films of the franchise. What's next for Saw 11? Hoffman, again? Will it set up a proper sequel? #SAW #Jigsaw My review of SAW X: - nickelbib.com/movie-review...

In China, Ne Zha 2 has been setting the box office ablaze in Chinese markets. The film has already eclipsed major titles, and it is only a matter of time until it usurps Inside Out 2 as the highest grossing animated film. #NeZha2 I wrote a review of the original film: nickelbib.com/movie-review...

Mishmashers Publishing has released two horror anthologies (Readers Digested, Vol 1 & 2). We are currently looking for authors to help us bring readers a 3rd and 4th Vol. Get in contact, if interested! My DMs are always open. For More Information: - www.mishmashers.com/submissions/

I've now started Gori: Cuddly Carnage. I bought Gori on launch because I wanted to support such a wacky, out there idea, but, now, it is time to finally slice in! Me-fucking-ow!

Speaking of books, The Canes Agenda (Canes IV) is finished. We're aiming for a February 12th release date, and the ad campaign will start toward the end of the month.

My wife and I published our novel COTTON: The Spinster's Daughter on the 7th (her birthday), but I am planning to wait until towards the end of the month to start rolling out an ad campaign. Believe me, we have a lot we'd love to share about it!

G'morning! My wife and I will be unwinding today by playing Hollow Knight, a Metroidvania with Souls-like elements tucked in. We're about 16 hrs into the campaign. Tough game to say the least!

I bought Nikoderiko: The Magical World. It wears its influences on its sleeve, paying homage to Crash Bandicoot and Donkey Kong Country in equal form. I have been playing it with my wife and I have been having a lot of fun with it. It is laid-back and playful, and feels slick and polished.

I recently finished playing the new Silent Hill 2 Remake. And, might I say, Jesus Christ, did I have a good time with it. I will be honest - I played Silent Hill back in the day on the PlayStation 2 and I didn't have a major emotional attachment to it. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't among my favorites.

Recently started watching Dexter: Original Sin, I'm undecided on it thus far. Personally, I wish Showtime would've simply went the route of making a new "serial killer" series rather than trying to mine more out of the Dexter character.

Crazy to think Sonic the Hedgehog might be the most successful videogame-to-film franchise ever. Obviously, Mario blew it out of the water at the box office, but Sonic is three films into a series that only started 6 years ago and has gotten consistently increased critical and financial success.

In general, I love any author submission I receive for Readers Digested. After all, you wrote that and put yourself out there, I think that's really cool. However, there is something to be said for when I stumble upon a submission that is just completely bonkers and off the rails weird.

In other news, my server must've had a hiccup of some kind. In one swoop, Mishmashers' email ([email protected]) went from no queries to around a dozen (some from as far out as September). Uh oh! I have a lot of networking to do, apologies to write, and stories to read. 🫡

I watched the new Borderlands film recently. Like many of you, I went into the film with mild expectations and came away largely disappointed by the film. I would consider myself a fan of the series, with Borderlands 1 & 2 being some of the most cherished game memories I've had with my wife.
