The Wanted movie trailer was posted yesterday. Although it seams to have little to do with the original comic, which is a dark twisted affair, the movie looks interesting. Sadly, it appears Angelina Jolie will NOT be donning the "Miss Fox" suit.

On October 27, I began my guest blogging stint for Jeff Vandermeer on his very popular Ecstatic Days. My tenure started with a reprint of my rarely seen 2003 Hellnotes self-interview complete with commentary and updates. My guest stint extends through November 11. I will attempt to maintain both blogs during the two weeks.
Hope to see y’all there as well.

Among ape collectors, Gil Brewer’s “Gorilla of the Gasbags” is a Holy Grail of sorts. The legendary cover of the June 1929 Zeppelin Stories tantalizes with a gorilla and a man fighting from the ladder beneath a flying dirigible! I’ve longed to read the story, but not only have I never actually seen one, I know of no one who has read the story.
Shockingly, a copy of the much sought after pulp recently sold on ebay for the astronomical sum of $3,183.33! Oh, to find one at a garage sale someday!
Remember that my 40th birthday is rapidly approaching. Just an observation.
