Whether you are a video gamer, role-player, or dice roller, here are 13 games (in no particular order) that have what you need for many hours of petrifying playing this spooky Halloween gaming season.
Reading Diaries: Study Them When They’re Coming Apart
This month I read The Sisters Brothers and Room. They were both good, but I think only Sisters Brothers is a reread. Room is the sort of book that’s built around reveals and tension, and I’m not sure that there’s much there once that’s gone. Certainly it’s a clever book, and the child-voice is wonderfully…
Fitness: I am Runner 5
My sister regularly runs marathons, has running-related tattoos, and even leads her own run club (I designed the t-shirts!). Me? I am not a runner. That is to say, I don’t like high impact exercise like jogging or running, but walking? That I can and will do, along with aquafit once a week, but not much…
It’s the End of the World as We Know It: Apocalypse Fiction — WWAC Roundtable
This week the women of WWAC talked apocalypse fiction. What’s it all about? Why are we so fascinated by it? Megan P, Annie, Wendy, Claire, Jamie, Brenda, and Laura all chimed in. Content Note: Frank discussion of trauma, violence, disaster and apocalypse prepping, end times fundamentalism, and murder.

This week’s art gala takes a break from sketching, to enter the everyday creative world of sartorial speculation. What would you wear when All Things End and zombies start trying to chew on your head? Link us to your Polyvore sets! Here are ours. As you can see… WWAC is ready.
If You Went to SDCC, You’d Be Dead By Now!
Or, at least, shocked and horrified. That is, if you were a denizen of the Newsflesh-verse. The series, launched in 2010 by Orbit Books, is written by Mira Grant (aka Seanan McGuire) and explores multiple aspects of the world during and after a global zombie outbreak. The main trilogy focuses on the Mason siblings, bloggers…
Reading Diaries: Super Spies, Sexy Witches, and Shakesdude
Megan: This month I’ve been reading Bill Bryson’s Shakespeare bio. My reading time is still more constrained than I’d like, so I’ve been reading it on my Kobo whenever I can get a few minutes to myself. I’ve not read much Bryson but I’ve been told that this book is the Brysoniest. It feels like…
(NSFW, TW) Zombie Tramp: I Hope She Bites Your Pleasure Node Off
Here’s the question: how safe do you feel when social oppression teams up with wank material?
Kickstarter of the Week: Toe Tag Riot
Matt Miner (Liberator, Occupy Comics) and Sean Von Gorman (Occupy Comics, FUBAR) are teaming up again, this time for a comic about zombie punks eating racists and homophobes. Eating them in the un-fun way, I mean. As of writing, Toe Tag Riot is $690 and thirty-one hours away from meeting its goal on Kickstarter. If funded,…
