So many great reads this week. Thanks. You’ve been busy. Your article on The Last inspired me to explore a bunch of their catalog this week. What an interesting band. Take care and be safe on all your travels.

Thanks, Travis! The Last is one of those bands where the more you look the more there is to discover. Heartily recommend their episodes on the You Don't Know Monaco podcast.

I LOVED Pumpkinhead growing up! Cool to read about this con. I was an avid Fangoria convention-er, so fun to hear about this marriage of horror and written word.

Ah that's so great to hear! Check out Neon Maniacs if you haven't seen it. It doesn't make any sense but is a ton of fun!
