A couple years ago, my dad and I wrote a short story together for an anthology celebrating the work of Richard Matheson. Our thing was called “Throttle,” and is the story of a biker gang persecuted by a faceless trucker… our riff on Matheson’s classic, “Duel,” which also features a homicidal trucker with a mysterious [...]

The Cape is over – final issue out today. Big thanks to Jason Ciaramella, who scripted this thing from start to finish, and Zach Howard, who made The Cape one of the best looking comics of the last few years, and Nelson Daniel, who provided some of the most creative and inspired colors you’ll find [...]

Over there on teh Twitters, I post on a pretty wide range of subjects. I instigate #geekfights, link to stuff I like, taunt friends, pimp my work, pimp other people’s work, and generally have fun. Oh, and I also tweet about politics. Stuff like this: The problem for the hardcore GOP voter is that they know [...]

I know it’s a little late to be doing a Best of 2011 list, but I figure anytime is a good time to tell people about some stuff you liked. Here’s what really got my rocks off in 2011: The Book What can I tell you about The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet? This motherfucker [...]

It’s no secret I have a lot of fun over on Twitter. It’s my preferred internet hangout, and probably represents 50% of the time I spend online. A lot of people wax sarcastic about social networks (me too sometimes), but there’s a lot to admire about the hivemind; it is a community of thought, where [...]

Everyone needs a compulsion hobby; mine is Satanism keeping journals. I have 8 of them going at the moment. How did this happen to a nice normal guy like me? How did I wind up with a litter of diaries to feed, nourish, groom, and otherwise look after? Wouldn’t one be enough? Here’s what got [...]
