Here’s my modest li’l booth with the society.
We are at the Oakland convention center.

A crazy cadaverous clashing of classical cultures.

Instead of magical texts, part of Homer's epic helped preserve the 1,600-year-old remains.

Hi MythTickle readers! I was recently reminded to post here about my blog.
Did you know I have a blog?
Here is my latest entry, where I plug a podcast I was recently on and share one of the greatest memories of my life.

Calling all Tolkien fans!
My very close and super-good friend Tom Racine has been published by Harper Collins and his book is a must for all Tolkien fans and Gorey fans! He wrote it and illustrated it and it’s beautiful. It got very rare approval from the Tolkien estate! So you know it HAS to be great.
Get it here and fall in love with it. https://bookshop.org/p/books/doomed-to-die-an-a-z-of-death-in-tolkien-tom-racine/fcc5ecee4168afc1?ean=9780063474420&next=t
Also available at Amazon too if that’s your jam.

Hey Gang! Check this out! If you love Tolkien, watch this interview with one of my very best friends, Tom Racine. Tom has created a genius book fully illustrated, that is an homage to Tolkien and Edward Gorey, fully approved of and cheered-on by the Tolkien estate. If you’re a fan of one or both, ya’ gotta get this book. Available for preorder, it’s called ‘Doomed To Die: An A-Z of Death in Tolkien.’
Here’s Tom being interviewed about how he put this together.

Dear MythTickle readers: I’m going up on the stage again. If you’re up in Sonoma county, California wine country, come check out Shakespeare In The Park(ing lot).
I’m playing Falstaff in ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’. It’s free and you can drink while you’re watching the show on the grass (chairs are provided, we’re cheap but not barbarians).
Cheers!
