Woo! You scared me for a moment there.

I loved him in the buffy film that predated the series. Glad you mentioned back draft because although Baldwin and Russell were the leads it was the scenes with de Niro and sutherland that really stood out. At the end you mentioned the space for a new actor with quirky looks (not conventionally handsome) to fill that same role, I'd suggest the guy from. Late night with the Devil (sorry can't remember his name).

I wish I saw this a year ago! The go fund me has been paused, but I’d still be willing to help. Medical bills don’t age well unfortunately.

Are there spoilers in this review? Ta.

Very good chat. Enjoyed it immensely!

No apologies necessary, but I missed you both and am glad you're coming back! Looking forward to hearing the spooky stories. Be well and have a frightful & fantastic Halloween!

Very interesting interview, wide-ranging and perceptive. Gonna watch Hex & the Droving because of this..

'promo sm' 😔

I haven't head anything in a while. I know the gofundme goal was achieved, but does anybody have any word on how Laird is doing these days?

Laird is one of my favorite authors, I didn't know this. I've read almost everything he's had published and purchased paper copies. I hope he comes out okay. He's a great addition to weird fiction as a genre.

Thank you for the updates. Wishing the master a speedy recovery!!

favorite anthology writer ever

Woo! Thank you kindly for the thoughtful responses. Concerning Quentin's novel: oh-no! Superlative, if harrowing, book. Quentin's work is great. I associate him with Nathan Ballingrud and Glen Hirshberg, but it's difficult to articulate precisely why. To date I've only read Simon's short fiction (love "Angels of the Silences, The Narrows," and the whole of the A HAZY SHADE OF WINTER collection), but I'll dip into a standalone novel at some point. After three purchases that resulted in no book, a friend loaned me Gemma's EXPERIMENTAL FILM which was my favorite read of last year (Lauren Groff's MATRIX and Elizabeth Hand's WYLDING HALL took silver and bronze for me). Such a beautiful, intelligent, emotionally excoriating, *honest*, and deliciously creepy book. Top five horror novel for me. A-ha! I recall hearing, or reading, about IN RED COMPANY. Sounds great. Might be some cross over with the Christopher Buehlman crowd. Ooo, I don't want you feeling bad. But when you write comparatively grounded stuff, "Emperor's Old Bones," EXPERIMENTAL FILM, most of the later short fiction (dude, you're absolutely killing it), you dwarf most other writers. Again, thank you. One of my favorite podcasts. Ballistic farts . . . Giles Blunt here I come.

It's a disgrace that the U.S. does not have single-payer universal healthcare that covers everyone.

Yay! Also, I want the origin story of how a Brit and a Canadian became such good buddies. And what's going on with her NIGHTCRAWLING or whatever novel is up next for Gemma? Opinions on REMEMBER YOU'RE A ONE-BALL? I loved when y'all talked about bullying, and I know NIGHTCRAWLING plays into that, but I was hoping you'd mention the Crisp novel in that regard. But, you can also ignore the previous and keep on doing what you're doing as I love it.

Thank you for the update, John! Wishing Laird a full and speedy recovery. Love to Laird and all of you. X

I'm sad, that we have this money crisis situation now, because last year, I could have donate more. You all do great work. He has good friends. I forgot to mention it before.

I really appreciate all you, Mike, and Ellen are doing providing updates. Laird is such a special human and continuing to wish him the best. Be sure to take care of yourself in all this, too.

Thanks, John.

Hey John, why not set up a PO Box for Laird? I think you can rent one for a month or so. Then give out the address for get well cards, letters of encouragement, etc.

I just saw Simon yesterday at a book signing. Today I'm searching for MR James stuff I have lost access to, and this shows up, so that's a pleasing serendipity ☺️ Excellent discussion.
