Now you can't tell me I'm a man without a plan. The LEE AND CALL series is set in the Bay Area of California, following the contentious friendship between a pub owner and the badman-with-a-heart who ripped him off. THE LEAN MAN WITH CLEAN HANDS, is coming 2027!

texas chainsaw massacre and the original mad max are apocalyptic in the same way imo. the world is currently dying a slow a painful death and all that's left is driving around in your car and running into monsters

The Devils reminds me of how special the 70s are in American film history. After the Hays Code, but before the modern franchise blockbuster. Such a sweet spot of experimentation and creativity

Shameless self-promotion Sunday! Available at the Zon. “Bright as day in its depiction of humanity, and even darker than a starless night in its depiction of the same. Carlotta Dale’s prose is refreshing. Intriguing, haunting, dryly humorous, and down to the emotional bone.”

I love noir and the way this guy can do it in a modern setting is not something I’m seeing anywhere else

The Lean Man with Clean Hands is a crime novel about a thief who believes violence is justified by necessity--never by what someone deserves--and a grieving pub owner increasingly seduced by the power of violence. (Not the final cover, just a placeholder.)

The problem with writing scumbag protagonists is that some people will just go ahead and assume that the reader is meant to agree with what they think - and by extension, the author does too. 🙄

Tried watching "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction" thinking it was an Unsolved Mysteries kinda thing... it isn't. Each week Jonathan Frakes tells you 5 ghost stories, 2 are "false" (invented by a writer), the rest are "true" (invented by an unpaid writer). The true ones aren't backed up by proof, you are just expected to believe a ghost walked someone's dog or a sandwich predicted a drowning. 10/10

They drove all the way out to the Dave & Busters in Milpitas. What a place—Chuck E. Cheese with alcohol and shitty steak. Whoever dreamed such a thing deserved their generational wealth. - The Lean Man with Clean Hands
