Today, I was a volunteer poll worker for my state's primary, and we had over 1,000 people come in to vote, which is a completely bonkers number for a primary, given that this same location only had around 700 in the last general election. Good job, everyone.

My health is still very poor, but tomorrow I'm going to be volunteering as a poll worker, which would promise a very long, tiring day even under more salubrious circumstances, so here's hoping that I can be in heaven an hour before the Devil knows I'm dead.

I'm excited to finally share that my @nighttidemag.bsky.social essay investigating the etymology of "J-Horror" is being printed in my colleague Tom Mes' amazing book! I grew up reading Tom's work, so this is really a hell of a thing that I can't believe is real. On sale 8/27 at Frightfest!

Superman (2025) | Turns out we CAN still make good movies, and it's just that nobody bothered to tell the last few I watched.
Dreamt that I was watching a Hong Kong black magic horror movie called "Wormless People," which was definitely a misnomer, because these folks had an incredibly robust supply of worms, let me tell you.
The Last Performance (1929) | Don't get me wrong, Bela Lugosi is great, but what I wouldn't give to be able to spend just a few hours peering into the alternate reality where we got Conrad Veidt's Dracula, instead.
