If Ya Saw The Wire, This Would Be Ironic
Not that I think newspapers are dying or anything, but in Ocean City, MD there’s rumors that my childhood arcade went up in a blaze tomorrow. I check again, there’s nothing about whether Marty’s Playland is OK or not, but … Continue reading
Those Amazon Rumors
Looks like it’s real. I confess, Olympia did get the Booksurge email, but I didn’t bother replying, ‘cuz, that would just not be in character. Couple disclaimers here: This does not surprise me. It’s also why the imprints for Black … Continue reading

And The Weakest Astroturfing Campaign In History Resumes
OK, their lead idiot was canned for reasons that’ll be fun to explore one day. Their market has been taken over by Amazon in all of three months. We’re still waiting on the Sony software revision. Ah, but what can … Continue reading
That’s It for Fantomas
At least for a while. Nothing else on Google/Archive, Live’s down, and I was too busy hanging with my niece and nephew to hit the bookstores. Was an unlikely bet anyway. Next author up is probably gonna be Arthur Morrison, … Continue reading
