Ink by Jonathan Maberry is Coming!
Jonathan Maberry has a new one coming out. As you can see from the cover above it’s called Ink.
Tattoo-artist Patty Cakes has her dead daughter’s face tattooed on the back of her hand. Day by day it begins to fade, taking with it all of Patty’s memories of her daughter. All she’s left with the certain knowledge she has forgotten her lost child. The awareness of that loss is tearing her apart.
Monk Addison is a private investigator whose skin is covered with the tattooed faces of murder victims. He is a predator who hunts for killers, and the ghosts of all of those dead people haunt his life. Some of those faces have begun to fade, too, destroying the very souls of the dead.
All through the town of Pine Deep people are having their most precious memories stolen. The monster seems to target the lonely, the disenfranchised, the people who need memories to anchor them to this world.
Something is out there. Something cruel and evil is feeding on the memories, erasing them from the hearts and minds of people like Patty and Monk and others.
Ink is the story of a few lonely, damaged people hunting for a memory thief. When all you have are memories, there is no greater horror than forgetting.
Ink drops November 17, 2020 but is available for pre-order now!

Z-View: “Extraction”
Extraction (2020)
Director: Sam Hargrave
Screenplay: Joe Russo (based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Fernando Leon Gonzalez, Eric Skillman)
Stars: Chris Hemsworth, Golshifteh Farahani, Rudhraksh Jaiswal and David Harbour.
The Pitch: “Let’s turn the Ciudad graphic novel into a movie!”
No Tagline:
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Tyler Rake (Hemsworth) is part of a mercenary team hired to rescue a drug lord’s kidnapped son. To complete the extraction the team must journey into Dhaka, a city ruled by the rival drug lord who kidnapped his rival’s son. All is going well until the team is betrayed and Rake finds himself alone with the boy trying to get to the extraction site. To get there he will have to fight the corrupt cops, the drug lord’s soldiers and street gangs looking to earn the reward offered up by drug lord.
The premise of Extraction is a classic action picture trope. Yet, Extraction puts twists on aspects of the movie that could have easily been cliches. Rake has a death-wish but the cause of his troubles provides reason to succeed in this mission at any cost. The person who betrayed the mission does it for an unusual reason. The location of the movie is one seldom (never?) seen and provides fresh opportunities for action scenes and those action scenes are equal to those that you’d find in John Wick movies.
Extraction left me impressed, thinking about the characters, story and ending well after the final credits. I can’t wait to watch it again!

The “Sword of God” Poster and Trailer are Here!
Here’s the poster and trailer for Sword of God. I like the looks of this one.
In the early Middle Ages, a contingent of knights embarks on a dangerous journey to spread Christianity and baptize the pagan inhabitants of an isolated village hidden deep in the mountains of a faraway island. After being shipwrecked, the two survivors set out to complete their mission, but as they attempt to convert the tribe, their diverging beliefs put them at odds with one another. Soon, love is confronted with hate, peace with violence, sanity with madness, and redemption with damnation.
Directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Bartosz Konopka, this genre-bending historical epic has been hailed as a “stunning showcase of experiential horror” (Bloody Disgusting) that “strikes with brutal clarity” (ScreenAnarchy).

Jackie “The Great One” Gleason Trivia!
When I was a little kid for most of the country The Jackie Gleason Show was must-see tv. As I got a little older I discovered, in reruns, The Honeymooners. Then in high school Jackie hit big again with his classic role as Sheriff Buford T. Justice in Smokey and the Bandit.
Gleason was also great dramatic actor (see The Hustler and Requiem for a Heavyweight if you don’t believe me) but comedy was where Gleason spent the majority of his career. Gleason was a true talent making it big on stage, television, radio and movies.
If you don’t know much about the man known as The Great One, check out 18 Fascinating Facts about Jackie Gleason presented by the fine folks at MeTV. Here are three of my favorite facts and my thoughts on each…
When you see him pat his stomach on The Honeymooners, it’s because he forgot a line. Well, perhaps it wasn’t 100% photographic. The sitcom was filmed live, so there were no do-overs.
(If you’ve never seen The Honeymooners you owe it to yourself to check it out. Classic comedy! – Craig)
His debut album still holds the record for most consecutive weeks in the Billboard top ten — a whopping 153. Gleason was a massive music star. In a way, he was a forerunner of ambient pioneer Brian Eno, in that he wished to craft records of what he called “musical wallpaper.” His easy listening instruments, especially Lonesome Echo, remain cult favorites. His first album, 1952’s Music for Lovers Only, spent a mind-boggling three years near the top ten. To put that in perspective, Thriller only managed 78.
(Who’d a thunk it? – Craig)
He believed in aliens. Gleason studied the paranormal and UFOs. It is rumored that President Nixon shared secret information about UFOs with the Hollywood star.
(Gleason told people that then President Nixon actually showed him a captured alien ship and alien corpse! – Craig)
