Health problems; taking a couple of weeks off.
They did a CT scan. Apparently, I have a 4cm mass on my thyroid. I have an appointment with an ENT later this week to find out more. It might be cancerous, it might not be. Either way, it’s hard to swallow, and I’ve since learned that this kind of thing can cause extreme fatigue — and I already have chronic fatigue.

“Cabin at the End of the World” vs. “Knock at the Cabin” – an interview with Paul Tremblay
Paul Tremblay was a guest on my podcast recently, and we talked about his book THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLD, the film KNOCK AT THE CABIN, and the differences between both.
Which version is better? Is it apples and oranges? Or do the book and movie address profoundly different questions?

“Really, Really, Really, Really Weird Stories” by John Shirley — reviewed by Peter Rawlik
Also present is “The Whisperer Made Visible”, another Lovecraftian tinged horror original to this collection. This story alone, with its subtle machinations of malignant cosmic entities, makes the new collection worth its price…
John Shirley is one of the most versatile writers of speculative fiction working today, with seminal works in science fiction, fantasy, and horror. REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WEIRD STORIES is a diverse collection of some of his best stories, and works to showcase the strength and breadth of his talent.

Hi everyone. It’s been a tough year.
My wife has lost two brothers this year, the last one just a couple of weeks ago. It’s hard to put into words how hard this has been on her. But in addition to the heartache, she has had to travel several times for funerals with money that we didn’t really have.
One of our cars has needed repairs for about a month. I’ve been trying to get by with one car, trying to get by with just the minimum of money that we have, but today I learned that the second car needs to go in the shop. So we really could use your help.
