Hey dudes, you will recall that I snagged a spot in the first Machine of Death anthology with my short story "Torn Apart and Devoured by Lions", a story which was pleasantly well-received. Anyway, an enterprising film student named Kevin McCoy secured permission to adapt it into a school project, and with his blessing, I'm sharing the results! ( Read more... )

I'm glad I have a healthy dose of neo-hipster cynicism in me, because it allows me to perceive this as being TOTALLY AWESOME instead of soul-crushing and weep-worthy.

I don't know if any of you appreciate the singular enormity of this event, but I just ordered a secondhand-but-good-condition copy of Melissa Etheridge's "Unplugged and More" offa the Internet.
