What shocks me the most about this situation isn't that Trump declared war on Iran. What shocks me is that after Trump killed all the top Iranian officials, he then mentioned that, oops!, he'd also killed everyone we wanted to replace them. And the media hasn't done any goddamn follow up on that.

Thank you. That was a fun one to write.

You're absolutely right. Walter is nothing but a hungry maw gobbling everything in sight. He's pure need, pure Id and, in the end, kind of pathetic.

I particularly love murderous meth dealer Walter White stopping by for inspiration. If they could only have worked Patrick Bateman and Leatherface into the roster.

A black and white photo of a bare tree just to the side of a street light. The illumination brightens the closest branches, while setting the others in darkness.

While waiting for a Lyft last night I noticed the tree's bent, almost wind swept branches set against a harsh street light. It's not my most exciting shot, but I like the mood.

I had the LP when I was a kid and I agree, Karloff's voice is superb.

Since I've been posting about killers today, here's yet another intriguing theory about the Black Dahlia murder.

On this World Book Day, here are a few of the cheap drugstore rack paperbacks that got me interested in horror and SF. Sadly, I couldn't find the lurid monster cover for Tales of Mystery and Imagination, but that book was fundamental for me as a writer.

Happy Women in Horror Month. There’s a story that when one of Poppy Z. Brite’s (now William Joseph Martin) partners went through Customs with the manuscript of Exquisite Corpse, he was detained because one of the officers thought he might be a serial killer. That's the power Brite’s work.

Goodnight from the 400 bus to London, where Joan Gale is aware certain passengers seem to disappear without ever getting off. Goodnight from Charlie Merrick, worried he hasn’t done enough to prevent his sins from being recorded in the Bone Angel’s Book of Reckonings. Goodnight from Hookland.

Interesting. We'll probably never know for sure, which keeps the Zodiac alive.

United Airlines may ban passengers who refuse to wear headphones United Airlines is now requiring travelers to wear headphones when listening to audio or video on devices β€” and warns that those who refuse could be removed from a flight or permanently banned.

While I have a fraught relationship with United Airlines, I'm 100% behind them on this policy. www.sfchronicle.com/travel/artic...

Another rainy day? Another day of snoozing in bed for Peter! 😺🌧️

At 12 years old, Peter knows the best cure for a gloomy day is a cozy bed, a snuggle with a volunteer and some crunchy cat treats!

Come meet Peter at the animal shelter from 11am-6pm!
