Ginrummy's blog

Up until now all of the books by R3 have only been available on Amazon/Kindle. There are, however, several other E-reader formats for virtual books and he's basically been neglecting them up until now due to his massive technical ineptitude. (<-R3 wrote that) That's done, though. As of this morning, both his anthologies were posted on Smashwords! We've even dropped the price a buck in celebration! Smashwords publishes formats for iPod/iPhone, B&N Nook, Sony reader, and most any device using the Android O/S.

EDIT: THE NEW BOOK "It's Not Rocket Science" IS NOW ONLINE ALSO. See inside for links and more details.

Three movies have been made (at least) directly inspired by Richard Matheson's classic novella (longer than a short story, shorter than a novel) "I Am Legend". Nobody really has gotten it "right" in the sense of not adding or subtracting significantly from the original. I'll touch on the story elements first then do a bit on the movies and how they changed things.

Our own GinRummy put this online and pointed it out to me. It's a video interview that Harlan Ellison did back in 1995, talking about a video game version of "I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream." (Which was, coincidentally, the first Ellison story I ever read back when I was about 13. Scared hell out of me, and I couldn't sleep for two nights afterwards.
