CODEX AVAILABLE; PEAKS COMING

An amicable reminder: The second edition of Eighth Tower Records and Books' Codex of Pleasure and Pain: Stories Inspired by Clive Barker's Hellraiser is available for immediate purchase. I have a story in that one, revolving around the fall of Camelot. Perhaps you might fancy it, along with the curation's other chilling tales. 

While Codex reigns supreme, Eighth Tower's David Lynch/Twin Peaks, inspired-by tribute (the official title not yet determined) is in the development, but it's closer to realization than not. My yarn, "The Greater Goo," will be featured and has already premiered in The Eighth Tower Magazine, for those who might be interested.

FOR THE FUN OF IT:

 

GOODBYE, NICHOLAS BRENDON

Most know and love you as the waggish Xander Harris from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as well as the idiosyncratic Kevin Lynch on Criminal Minds, but your resume extended beyond even these renowned efforts. 

For example, you were nothing short of spot-on in the uproarious Psycho Beach Party and made commensurate impressions in Blood on the Highway, Demon Island, Fire Serpent, Unholy, Attack of the Morningside Monster, Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest, Coherence, My Neighbor's Secret, Surge of Power: Revenge of the Sequel, Golden Christmas and several more where you couldn't help but shine.

You had some problems along the way, Mr. Brendon, but we all face such matters at one time or another. When it came to your fanbase, however, you were more than stellar, with artistic provisions that will continue to be reviewed and respected. In other words, you were and will remain one of the few entrenched, legendary figures in popular culture: an irrefutable designation that will stand the test of time.

WISE WORDS:

 

SO LONG, CHUCK NORRIS

You were a martial arts icon and an action star supreme, but in everyday life you rivaled both platforms by being just a good-natured guy. 

Of course, that didn't stop us from enjoying your exploits, as we did weekly (and then daily) by viewing the long-running Walker, Texas Ranger.

Then there are those great movies, which include the Bruce Lee headliner, The Way of the Dragon; The Wrecking Crew (yep, the Dean Martin/Matt Helm vehicle, for which Lee was an action advisor); Breaker! Breaker!; Good Guys Wear Black (man, was that ever the talk of the town when I was in junior high); A Force of One; The Octagon; An Eye for an Eye; Silent Rage (a tension-wrought, Frankenstein chiller); Code of Silence; The Hero and the Terror; Forced Vengeance, Lone Wolf McQuade; Logan's War; Invasion U.S.A.; Bells of Innocence; The Cutter; The Expendables 2; The Green Fog; Hellbound; Sidekicks, Top Dog; Forest Warrior; Dodgeball; Firewalker; The President's Man: A Line in the Sand; The Delta Force; Delta Force 2; the Missing in Action trilogy and the Karate Kommandos, animated miniseries.  

You were undeniably one of the special ones: a kind, generous man ... a man who cared for his family, his country and his fans. That puts you on a mighty high and honorable perch, Mr. Norris, one that few ever attain, even though all should aspire to reach it.
