Check out Wednesday Lee Friday’s “Creepy, Stabby, and Mentally Odd”

Wednesday Lee Friday’s first horror short story collection dropped today — it’s entitled Creepy, Stabby, and Mentally Odd, and it looks damned awesome.  It includes horror, dark fiction, dark erotica and even comics.

I just read the first story, “Raja,” and it was unnervingly great stuff.  This looks like a hell of a treat for fans of scary stories.

You can find it right here on Amazon.  I say go for it.

Ice, Ice, Maybe.

I just tried to order a Slushie without ice, because I am so used to ordering my sodas that way, and also because I am a f***ing imbecile.

“Well … they’re MADE with ice,” the polite high schooler explained apologetically.

This reminds me of that time in my 20’s when I ordered from the Taco Bell drive-thru but drove right through with getting my order, because reasons.

“I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon’s …”

“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon’s, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other.”

—  Ulysses S. Grant, speech at the Annual Reunion of the Army of the Tennessee in Des Moines, Iowa, on Sept. 29, 1875
