Two best pictures I got at the San Diego Astronomy association dark sky site.

@silviapark.bsky.social sorry this took so long. Haha

Last I heard, this is up to $90 worth of books (including one of mine). Get your ass to Cali!

he next interview up on the Dickheads Podcast YouTube feed is Silvia Park they are the author of Luminous - my pick for top read of the year last year. We talk near future Korea, robots and of course PKD.

Book review up for @dharlanwilson.bsky.social 's forthcoming academic epic. One of the most important study of the study of Philip K. Dick including PKD writing about PKD. Infinite Regressions indeed. davidagranoff.blogspot.com/2026/07/book...

This really is a thing of beauty. The fact that they played DEAD is great. Not sure when it was recorded but it would have been a perfect for a shout-out to Mitch McConnell.

Here I am last summer on Dickheads Podcast taking with @davidagranoff.bsky.social about STRANGELOVE COUNTRY and THE AUTO/BIOGRAPHIES OF PHILIP K. DICK. I was on the show last week discussing the PKD book in greater depth. That interview should be available soon. m.youtube.com/watch?v=bnI7...

OK, here is the deal we are trying to keep Philip K. Dick Festival free for anyone who wants to go. That said we are a few hundred dollars in the hole. So we are offering $20 special donation tickets that reserve a Goodie bag for when you arrive at the fest. We already have $60 worth a books...

I found this be both an impressive debut and overrated at the same time. One scene played for shock made no story sense and pulled me out of the whole thing. Still happy for the director and genre in general.

D. Harlan Wilson as a guest on his own show. We talk the SF movies of Stanley Kubrick and DHW's book Strangelove Country. In real time This Tuesday we talk Phil's good friend author Maer Wilson.

And it was amazing. Season 2 please and thank you.

@appletvnewshub.bsky.social Star City was amazing. Need season 2. Make it happen, Internet.

Just finished John MacDonald's Ballroom of the Skies. Known as a crime writer (most famous for Cape Fear), I suspect most of MacDonald's fans do not even know that, in 1950 and 1951, he wrote two SF novels...

My first experience reading Tanith Lee. A very interesting novel with lots a weird ideas meeting an almost gothic prose. Subtle but well-written feminist voice from the New Wave era of SF.

Since we are living the prequel to this movie, and having just lived through Trump's America 250 this documentary is pretty hilarious and better than I remembered. letterboxd.com/count_agrano...

Another video previewing Pink Beam Press and Philip K Dick Festival (August 20-23rd) IT is awesome. One thing is not quite correct. This video says I am co-founder of PB Press. I am not This Keith Giles's Baby. I am just an author publishing with Quoir/ PInk Beam

Hey if you use Goodreads consider giving my upcoming novella a click on to your "Want to Read" shelf. Lethal Weapon meets Dark City via Chandler and PKD.

Up new from Dickheads Podcast This interview is with Sarah Langan author of A Better World, Good Neighbors and the upcoming Trad Wife. She will be a Guest of honor at the upcoming 4th International Philip K. Dick Festival August 20-23rd

Great Preview of Pink Beam Press and our novellas debuting at PKD Fest!

The Islamic Republic of Japan is a fierce enemy, but nothing compared to the Shoalin monks of Yemen. Their tactics for attacking reflecting pools are legendary I will sleep better knowing the mayor of Mar-largo is sundowning on the job.

Two Veterans trying to warn what a war with China might look like. It was interesting enough for me to finish, but it had a couple serious flaws. davidagranoff.blogspot.com/2026/06/book...

Anti-capitalist surrealist movie that feels very bizarro and East bay. The production design was amazing. Big thumbs up.

Not exactly a rom-com, but this film about a sub-dom relationship is well written and directed. Certainly a film you wouldn't see in the past and it is great we get a story like this.

This violent Russian end-of-the-world epic has some Mad Max and Mandy vibes but it is a pure wandering swordsman epic in a Japanese tradition, free on Tubi.

The Novella out this summer from Pink Beam Press is up on Goodreads who will be first to add it to their Want to Read list! Think of it as a cosmic horror take on Lethal Weapon meets Dark City. www.goodreads.com/book/show/25...

Photo I took after basketball with my dwarf mini telescope this was a short exposure. Affordable and easy to use so stoked to endorse this amazing product!

It has been 8 years since I read PKD's second novel for DHP, so here are some quick updated thoughts. As always PKD's work benefits from a re-read. davidagranoff.blogspot.com/2026/06/book...

Short book review. This author is presenting one of the chapters about PKD in this book At PKD Fest. I found the stuff about Aldus Huxley also interesting. Check it out.

Keith Giles had me on his podcast to talk about religions started by AI chatbots. It is a pretty philosophical about what it means to be alive and believe, how AI are basically alien minds who live in a different universe. Fun conversation. Give it a listen...

Coming to PKD fest? It is free, but help us plan by doing the registration. Anyone registered for the fest/ or Global Time Slip can nominate a book or article for the Pink Beam awards.

I read the last 200 pages of Ray Nayler's The Mountain in the Sea. Three years ago I was convinced it was the best book I read that year, now I am fairly certain it is the best Science fiction (in any media) of the 21st century so far...

New Dickheads Podcast interview up. @paultremblay.bsky.social the author of Dead, But Still Dreaming of Electric Sheep, recorded live at the Tuesday night Zoom hangout.

Short Audiobook review for Joe R. Lansdale's novel about an East Texas UFO cult that runs Donut shops. Well, that is part of the fun. davidagranoff.blogspot.com/2026/06/the-...

He wrote some amazing movies you have seen. His script from the 70s, CLAWS, based on PKD's Second Variety, is one of the best unproduced scripts I've read. (It got made as Screamers, but not as good as the 1st draft). None the less alot to learn here for writers.

Oh no they lost the Dinosaur class. Yo, you people let this shit happen. Shut the hell up and let the young people clean up your mess dingus.

The next novella in August

No budget end of the world movie, there is a 90 minute version that is very good. The problem is it is more than 2 hours. Lots of talk talk.

I liked that Koepp and Spielberg skipped three act structure. This movie is all act 3. Bold writing. Two great action scenes. Good story. One thing at the end was dumb enough to take me out of the whole thing. Still solid. letterboxd.com/count_agrano...

Brutal arthouse stuff about a Bela-Russian child soldier during WWII. Very grim yet shot beautifully. The battle scenes I think they really shot at the actors.

Schedule in the comments. Free! Join us! Movie screenings, academic lectures, screenplay and play table reads, a museum of rare SF artifacts and much more . Guests of Honor Tim Powers , Brian Evenson and Sarah Langan. Release party for the first novellas of Pink beam press.

That time Meta AI hallucinated that PKD wrote my novel.

’The Congregation is the Cache. ' Everything must be remembered. /

Six years later I am proud of this article about the horror novels released in 2020 and how they met the moment.

This instant horror classic is like a perfect jump shot. Nothing but net horror novel style by @natcassidy.bsky.social

Really cool concept, think Westworld, The Truman Show, and Game of Thrones in a blender with a dash of Sci-fi publishing history. It is a debut novel & the structure didn't work for me. This review became an excuse to explain the difference of how Lovecraft and PKD wrote insanity.

A totally insane action movie starring the little kungfu kid from New Legend of Shaolin all Grown-up. Sorry, MAGA folks, the rich pedophiles are bad guys in this movie so you may want to skip. A great movie to see in the theater. Not perfect but fun.

Dickheads Podcast is back with another interview recorded during one of our live PKD hangouts. This one is Michael C. Barros Co-editor of The Esoteric Theology of Philip K. Dick.
