Now Creep and his closest associate, artist of the macabre Matt Garcia, have spread their black wings as the haunting season begins.

Bedside Manner: San Diego, California

Bedside. San Diego, California—or was this Los Angeles? It could have been Tucson. It’s definitely not Phoenix. In Phoenix, I stayed in a nice hotel with a carpeted floor and a bed so tall, I nearly needed a step stool to get in to it.

The Immortal Mansion

If you think you've been to the House of Torment before, think again. Austin's nationally recognized Halloween haunt has been torn down and rebuilt, fresh for the new scaring season. House vice-president Jon Love said, "Everybody that works here is never satisfied in January with what happened in October. So it's better, more, new, different."

Bedside Manner: The Restless Reader

Here's another in a weekly series of what we're reading. More than 20 years ago, I bought a $4.50 paperback copy of Isabel Allende's The House of Spirits at the original Borders Book Shop on State Street in Ann Arbor, Mich., before it went all chain-gang on us. I'm proud to say I knew Borders when it was just a wee little shop.

Barry Gifford, YA Author

You don't generally think of the Young Adult racks at your local library when Barry Gifford is the author in question, but Sad Stories of the Death of Kings, has indeed been chosen to, ah, shake up the kids a little.

Let Them Meatcake!

Of course you know the gorgeous collection of Dame Darcy's Meatcake comics has been out from Fantagraphics since July, and you're merely waiting for a slight break in the budget to snag a copy of your own, right? It's only $23, after all, but considering the way this economy has been going (ie, down the crapper), you have to not buy it for another month, right?
