Read more "THE NIGHTMARE GIRL Is Only 99 Cents!"Hey, friends. Busy times, busy times.

When I was an adolescent, one of the few books I would actually read (and read and read and read) was THE BOOK OF LISTS. I eventually branched out to THE BOOK OF LISTS TWO, which only fed the list-crazy beast inside of me. I never checked out THE BOOK […]

It’s happening, […]
