The benefits stack up fast... ## [Return To Innsmouth: The Reviews Are In!](https://markandrewwatson.substack.com/p/return-to-innsmouth-the-reviews-are-a5c) _2026-08-18 · Mark Watson · The New Cthulhu_ Are you still undecided about Return To Innsmouth? ## [Book Review: The Housemaid](https://brettmilam.com/2026/08/17/book-review-the-housemaid/) _2026-08-17 · Brett · Milam's Musings_ The Housemaid was more predictable than I expected it to be given McFadden's trademark twists, but I thoroughly enjoyed the ride, nonetheless. ## [Return To Innsmouth and Other Stories: Available NOW](https://markandrewwatson.substack.com/p/return-to-innsmouth-and-other-stories-387) _2026-08-17 · Mark Watson · The New Cthulhu_ Brand new collection by Mark Watson available in kindle, paperback, hardback and audible versions... ## [Book Review: Watch Party](https://brettmilam.com/2026/08/16/book-review-watch-party/) _2026-08-16 · Brett · Milam's Musings_ I thought Cooney's second outing topped his first; the maturation of a writer, not only with a definite vision of the story he wants to tell, but who is absolutely having fun telling it. The gore and the lore saturate the pages, but I particularly loved the comradery between the teens. It rang true to me. ## [Book Review: The Gods of Gotham](https://brettmilam.com/2026/08/15/book-review-the-gods-of-gotham/) _2026-08-15 · Brett · Milam's Musings_ What ensues in Faye's book is a totally engulfing trip through mid-19th century America, with its still-salient issue of immigrants arriving at its shores, religious pluralism, the role of children, women, African Americans, and the poor in society, and even down to the topsy-turvy nature of brotherly love and unrequited love, too. ## [STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT AI GENERATED BOOK COVERS](https://markandrewwatson.substack.com/p/stop-complaining-about-ai-generated) _2026-08-15 · Mark Watson · The New Cthulhu_ If you aren’t going to buy the books that feature original artwork by world-renowned artists... ## [The Best Examples of Gothic Literature for Readers and Students](https://markandrewwatson.substack.com/p/the-best-examples-of-gothic-literature) _2026-08-15 · Mark Watson · The New Cthulhu_ Gothic literature is a genre built on dread, beauty, and the unsettling sense that something ancient and wrong lurks just beneath the surface... ## [Return To Innsmouth: The Reviews Are In!](https://markandrewwatson.substack.com/p/return-to-innsmouth-the-reviews-are-61c) _2026-08-14 · Mark Watson · The New Cthulhu_ Are you still undecided about Return To Innsmouth? ## [Book Review: Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst](https://brettmilam.com/2026/08/13/book-review-behave-the-biology-of-humans-at-our-best-and-worst/) _2026-08-13 · Brett · Milam's Musings_ "Instead of causes, biology is repeatedly about propensities, potentials, vulnerabilities, predispositions, proclivities, interactions, modulations, contingencies, if/then clauses, context dependencies, exacerbation or diminution of preexisting tendencies." I potentially quite liked this book. ## [Non-Custodial Crypto Gateway (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/6vK8ANQciz7M) _2026-08-13 · **Sponsored**_ Accept multi-chain crypto, automated fee handling, and trustless escrow with real-time settlement. ## [Congratulations! You've WON a FREE Book!](https://markandrewwatson.substack.com/p/congratulations-youve-won-a-free-121) _2026-08-13 · Mark Watson · The New Cthulhu_ Your FREE Copy of CREEPYPASTA Volume One Awaits... ## [Top Bedtime Books for Kids: 10 Picks for Calm Nights](https://markandrewwatson.substack.com/p/top-bedtime-books-for-kids-10-picks) _2026-08-06 · Mark Watson · The New Cthulhu_ The fastest path to a peaceful bedtime? A short, rhythmic story read in the same spot every night. Here are some bedtime books for kids worth trying tonight, each chosen for a calming feature... ## [Popular Middle Grade Horror Books Sorted by Scare Level](https://markandrewwatson.substack.com/p/popular-middle-grade-horror-books) _2026-08-05 · Mark Watson · The New Cthulhu_ Middle grade horror books like "Small Spaces" and "Coraline" offer age-appropriate scares that help children build emotional resilience... ## [Book Review: The Heart’s Invisible Furies](https://brettmilam.com/2026/07/30/book-review-the-hearts-invisible-furies/) _2026-07-31 · Brett · Milam's Musings_ Choices define the unfurling of our lives, but they don't necessarily have to define us in perpetuity. The world I want to live in is also filled with grace and understanding. Boyne's book beautifully explores this. What a remarkable achievement, ambitious in scale and scope, while ultimately evincing intimacy, humor, and heart. ## [My First IMAX 70mm Experience: Well-Worth It](https://brettmilam.com/2026/07/26/my-first-imax-70mm-experience-well-worth-it/) _2026-07-26 · Brett · Milam's Musings_ If you're someone who has any modicum of affection for the moviegoing experience — the thrill and awe of seeing a movie in the theater — then seeing a movie in true IMAX 70mm is something you have to experience at least once. ## [Film Review: The Odyssey](https://brettmilam.com/2026/07/26/film-review-the-odyssey/) _2026-07-26 · Brett · Milam's Musings_ Nolan's "The Odyssey" is grand and spectacular, but where it triumphs is in the intimate moments, often on the face of Damon's Odysseus (let's go, Best Actor!), a much more remorseful character than his book counterpart. But a good choice as a representation of man's hubris and need for humility. ## [Book Review: Seventeen](https://brettmilam.com/2026/07/25/book-review-seventeen/) _2026-07-25 · Brett · Milam's Musings_ Hierarchy, newsroom tension, fatherhood, and even life and death are explosively explored in Hideo Yokoyama's 2003 book, Seventeen, which was translated into English in 2018 by Louise Heal Kawai. As a former journalist, like Yokoyama, I was enthralled by the newsroom scenes and how decisions are made, especially when covering a world historical event. ## [Book Review: A Conspiracy of Paper](https://brettmilam.com/2026/07/21/book-review-a-conspiracy-of-paper/) _2026-07-21 · Brett · Milam's Musings_ When a pugilist and a philosopher meets ruffians, rascals, and villains in 18th century London, I'm all in. David Liss' 2000 book, A Conspiracy of Paper, is a compelling, gritty, often times jovial and hilarious, Sherlockian romp through a city on the precipice of monumental change, financially and socially. ## [Book Review: Sleep No More](https://brettmilam.com/2026/07/18/book-review-sleep-no-more/) _2026-07-18 · Brett · Milam's Musings_ While I wasn't expecting nor desiring a paranormal thriller, given the usually grounded Natchez, Mississippi setting, Iles is such a propulsive and fun writer, I devoured another of his novels over the course of a few manic reading sessions anyhow. ## [Book Review: The God of the Woods](https://brettmilam.com/2026/07/16/book-review-the-god-of-the-woods/) _2026-07-17 · Brett · Milam's Musings_ With a deeply defined cast of characters and the unforgettable setting of the Adirondacks, Moore's book is a triumph of thriller and thought. ## [Dissecting Series A Rounds (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/6t5Ulaw9GLhq) _2026-07-17 · **Sponsored**_ Two real Series A cases: timelines, investor sequencing, and common founder mistakes. ## [Book Review: I’m Glad My Mom Died](https://brettmilam.com/2026/07/12/book-review-im-glad-my-mom-died/) _2026-07-13 · Brett · Milam's Musings_ I'm Glad My Mom Died is one of the most enthralling books I've read in a long time, horrifying and hilarious at various turns. As McCurdy remarks during her mother's funeral, there has to be some levity or it would all be too much. And life is so damn absurd as it is — and McCurdy's more so within an absurd industry — that while such absurdity elucidates horrors, one also has to laugh.
