Comments from the crypt

Davey, your host

 

This is the first one of these, so thanks for being here early. The plan is simple. Once a week I send you the horror stories worth your time from the site, plus what actually came out that week, so you are not scrolling five different sites to find out what dropped.

This week got heavier than I expected. The Matthew Lillard piece below took me longer to write than anything else on the site so far, and I think it is the most important thing I have published. Read that one if you only read one.

Tell me what you want more of. Just hit reply. We are also looking for submissions, so if you want to help grow our graveyard, give us a chant.
