Latest News From The Gurley Man
Man, from RODAN to THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD to DEEPSTAR SIX those dang ol' sealed caverns contain a whole mess of crazy ancient horrors, and our industry and technology is constantly cracking them open and disturbing these varmints to no end!

Writer JE Gurley takes us back to where many of us love to go to find Kaiju Koo Koo Kritters!

From the press release,
A deep sea fracking operation in the Arctic Ocean breaks through into a world hidden for 15-million years, an undersea cavern from the Pliocene Epoch of the Cenozoic Era. Among the prehistoric terrors unleashed is a giant megalodon, a shark so efficient it had no need to change for 20-million years. Asa Iverson was the only survivor from the Global Kulik incident. Now, the nightmares haunt him. Did he see a colossal shark long thought extinct, or was it a hypothermia-induced hallucination?

Now, he's back in the Arctic to see for himself, and the deadliest predator the world has ever known is headed in his direction.

FROM PLANET CHIZMAR
Stephen King is highly selective when it comes to co-writing fiction with anyone. For decades his only GoTo guy was Peter Straub (THE TALISMAN, BLACK HOUSE). Eventually King co-wrote a short story with his son, Joe Hill, when they revisited Richard Matheson's THE DUEL in the anthology HE IS LEGEND.

Richard Chizmar, Horror writer and publisher of Cemetery Dance, has long published Stephen King's novels and short stories as limited run special editions for collectors only.

However, over the past month Richard teased out the news on his Facebook that he and King wrote a novel together.

Teasingly is the key word as different major publications aquired their exclusives for maximum audience reach.

Today the cat is out of the bag, starting with Entertainment Weekly's exclusive of the book cover.

Check out the full story at EW.

HOLY CRAP PEOPLE ARE STUPID.
- Actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Primark, the U.K. department store chain, caught a lot of guff for selling a THE WALKING DEAD T-Shirt.

WTH? You might very well ask.

TWD fans may remember how Jeffrey Dean Morgan's character, Negan, selected his victims by reciting, "Eeny meeny miny moe, catch a tiger by the toe..."

That's the phrase on the shirt and that's what's causing the trouble.

WTF? You might ask.

Well it seems some people ran to their Wikipedia or whatever and found out that, back around a century ago, people didn't say "Tiger", they said the N-word.

A small number of SJW snowflakes, from the safely anonymous comfort of their cushy chairs and bag of cheezy poofs, went on a slovenly flame war and Primark, still having no clue about the workings of this whole Internet thing, immediately bent over, and presented like the loser in a dog fight.

Seeing as how Jeffrey Dean Morgan actually uttered those words and he's proud of his work on TWD, he wasn't about to let a bucket of soft, slimey Social Jelly Wussies blither their hateful bullshit unchallenged.

The original full story that got under Jeffrey's skin is at The Wrap.
