In an interview we did about his novel Zombicide: All Or Nothing, writer Josh Reynolds explained how his central character, Westlake, is “a self-aware zombie.” And no, he didn’t mean the guy was aware of his living impaired privilege.
Well, it’s time for another adventure with Reynold’s percipient undead hero. In this new email interview, Reynolds discusses Zombicide: Do Or Die (paperback, Kindle, audiobook), his third novel based on the titular survival board game.
Though I’ve never felt the inclination myself, I understand why some people want a simpler life, away from the hustle and bustle. It’s also what I want for Talia Merritt, the main character in Monalisa Foster’s military sci-fi / space Western novel Threading The Needle (paperback, Kindle). Though after reading the following email interview (with Foster, not Merritt), I have doubts it will actually happen.

Halloween may be over, but the scary season doesn’t have to end if you don’t want it to. Or if you really hate your relatives.
Either way, it’s a good time for Zen Studios to release Pinball M, a new collection of horror-inspired pinball tables for Pinball FX, which are available individually or together as the Death Save Bundle.
And while one of the tables doesn’t really fit the horror theme — unless you’re super scared of pig people — all five are fun in their own ways.
Twenty-five years after releasing Spirit, Hurry, author Rolly Kent has come back to writing poetry with Phone Ringing In A Dark House (paperback).

Before they used their money to build penis shaped rockets and penis compensating yachts, it seemed like the go-to splurge for billionaires was to buy their own islands. But in his Menippean satirical novel Settlers Landing (hardcover, paperback), writer Travis Jeppesen has his money maker going one step further by turning his billionaire boys club island into its own nation state. In the following email interview, Jeppesen discusses what inspired and influenced this novel, and no, true believers, it does include a certain acronym-loving Marvel bad guy.
Romance often involves a bit of mystery. And yet, mystery novels don’t always have romantic parts.

One of the many highlights of The Marvels was getting to spend more time with Monica Rambeau, the grown-up version of “Lieutenant Trouble” from Captain Marvel. But it wasn’t the first time we had the pleasure, as the adult Monica was actually introduced in the Disney+ show WandaVision.
Newly available on 4K and Blu-ray, WandaVision: The Complete Series presents all 9 episodes of this engaging and inventive show, as well as some cool extras. Which makes it as good for people who loved it on Disney+ as those who haven’t had the pleasure.
