Not to beat a dead horse, but the naming conventions in the Magnus Archives are truly delightful. Jonny really said, “Here’s a cast of fascinating characters! Their names are:

My actual full legal name

The first names of my friends + the last names of famous horror writers

Michael (x4)

They all die horrible deaths :)”

Byler but instead of a 2025 queer horror with Cara Buono in it it's a 2007 queer horror with Cara Buono in it

[This is a companion comic for my Cthulhu analysis, which is still one of my favourite Byler essays I've written. Don't let the threat of Willainy put you off tho -- it comes to a happy conclusion, I promise.]

Mike is totally normal about this

And not to pull your halo down

Around your neck and tug you off your cloud

But I'm more than just a little curious

How you're planning to go about making your amends

To the dead

Michael Afton and his Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad life. 💜🍦🤡

I drew this last March but I remember wanting to try a different Michael design than the one I usually draw. This one’s heavily inspired by @chloesimaginationthings! 💜

Whenever I draw Michael, he’s always smoking. I dunno why that happens but it feels right, I guess. 😝

Hamish Linklater as Father Paul / John Pruitt in MIDNIGHT MASS (2021) Episode 5: Gospel

In that final AA scene — "the meeting," as Father Paul calls it — when everything that has been brewing all season long is now out in the open, the conversation erupts. Father Paul tries to get Riley to admit his jealousy over the fact that he can take a life, drink their blood, and not feel remorse, while Riley is plagued with guilt for killing the girl in the car crash. Linklater accelerates the rhythm of this situation and shouts at his costar, a moment that made it into the final cut of the show.  Flanagan remembers it more as an explosion. "That only ever happened once that way," he says. "It knocked Zach back so much. To be sitting there with the same two actors in the same location and what is relatively the same lighting for a week, going through these long scenes, and to be able to surprise each other like that, that's really awesome to see."

PS ARTBOOKS PRE-CODE CLASSICS: WEIRD MYSTERIES PART 2

Horror Mike has had his second part of his look at PRE-CODE CLASSICS: WEIRD MYSTERIES for about a month. I've been unable to promote it due to writing deadlines. If you're looking for both volumes of PRE-CODE CLASSICS: WEIRD MYSTERIES which have introductions written by myself, they are still available at https://www.psartbooks.com/pcc-weird-mysteries.php for an economical price. Listings on eBay tend to be expensive for the books, but maybe you can find a bargain there, too.

Special thanks to Horror Mike for letting me ramble on via e-mail about my work on WEIRD MYSTERIES and for PS Artbooks. Extra special thanks to Peter and Nicky Crowther and all the PS Artbooks gang for giving me the opportunity to work on the WEIRD MYSTERIES essays. The greatest, most special thanks, dedication and love to my wife Laura. Without her inspiration and encouragement, none of this would be possible.

Until next Time, I wish you...

All The Best,

James Heath Lantz

Once again plugging the BEASTS OF BURDEN OMNIBUS in the hopes of selling a copy or two. In this modern comics world a book comes out and disappears like a pebble tossed in a lake. There's a few ripples and then it's forgotten. I keep taking this pebble out and drying it. I don't think that metaphor really works but fuck it.

BUY THIS BOOK. DON'T POSTPONE JOY.

The Beasts of Burden Omnibus is available at full-line comic shops and bookstores that support stuff like this. It's also available from online book and comic shops and sellers. Published by Dark Horse Comics, the same folks who published The Eltingville Club, Dork and Milk & Cheese (and will once again in the future).

Almost 600 color pages of story and extras for only $30. Dogs and cats versus the supernatural. Includes every story done so far including the crossover with Mike Mignola's Hellboy. Art by co-creator Jill Thompson and Benjamin Dewey. Lettering by Nate Piekos and Jason Arthur. Scripts by e, with several stories co-written with Sarah Dyer. Winner of eight Eisner Awards and a Harvey Award. We lost some other things we were nominated for.

It's a good comic.

End of plug.

I hear Carrie's being adapted again as a TV series for Amazon by Mike Flanagan and I'm now coming to terms with my apparent witch powers with how I manifested this back in 2021

Anyway, sincerely hoping they'll consider casting an actress that will accurately represent my fat, telekinetic, bloody queen from the novel.
