As for this update: Things are becoming chaotic. I am exhausted. Here are links to an avalanche of new podcast appearances and some other news as we are less than three weeks away from the book:

* If you've been holding off on preordering the new (non-JDATE, standalone) book because the price is frankly outrageous, they're doing 25% off pre-orders at Barnes and Noble through TOMORROW (Friday Sept 6). Now it does require you to sign up for a (free) membership, so you have to click on "membership" and pick one of the options THEN order the book, THEN enter PREORDER25 in the coupon code box:

* Now, if you want a SIGNED hardcover, you have less than two weeks - the cutoff is SEPTEMBER 17 and you can only get them at this link:

bit.ly/signmybox

They'll ship anywhere, regular retail price (my signature is free). That link should take you to an indie bookstore in Nashville where I'll go sign like two thousand of these in a couple weeks.

If you want audio, ebook or unsigned hardcovers you can just google the title wherever you get books: 'I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom.' Again this is NOT the next book in the John Dies at the End series, that one is coming in 2026.

* I was on this two-part podcast talking about the weirdest corporate scandal I've ever heard of, involving ebay executives mailing insects and animal parts to a blogger who mildly criticized them:

Part 2: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-two-that-time-ebays-private-212715183/

Also on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BehindTheBastards/videos

(should be the two most recent videos)

Or just search your favorite podcast app for 'Behind the Bastards.'

* I joined the Dogg Zzone podcast to discuss the bizarre web presence of a formerly famous film star and director, Vincent Gallo, who now sells extreme right-wing merch and also, uh, other things:

Or just search "Dogg Zzone" on your favorite podcast app

* I talked at length about the '80s horror gross-out (comedy?) 'Society', and got into the weeds on story structure and the art of playing pranks on your audience:

* Our shockingly successful podcast, BIGFEETS, is also now a YouTube series if you'd prefer to watch us talk about the bizarre cryptid-hunting show Mountain Monsters, rather than just listen:

The book is right around the corner! I can barely remember my own name!
