The new book is 50% off in hardcover, at least the last time I checked

[Jason Pargin]

Buckle up because I have SO MUCH to tell you about. Well, actually it's like three things but there is basically no penalty for exaggerating on the internet:

* I did an in-depth interview with The Weekly Anthropocene substack, it doesn't require registration so if you hit a popup you can just click past it:

* It's 50% off the hardcover of my new book 'I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom' at all booksellers ($15 instead of the normal $30), at least as far as I can tell. I have no idea how long this sale lasts and it may even be over by the time you check this email. Nobody tells me anything, stuff just happens:

* I showed up on the Hypecast podcast to talk about what movies are coming out in 2025 that have us really excited and I'll spoil it right now - there aren't very many:

* I continue to do the shamefully popular BIGFEETS podcast that comes out every two weeks, in which we do an episode-by-episode analysis of the bizarre cryptid-hunting show Mountain Monsters:

The next book is due to be turned in at the end of this year, to be released next fall (book 5 in the JDATE series). I continue to have no news about any upcoming film or TV adaptations, meetings continue behind the scenes but I can't announce anything until deals have actually been signed.

Thanks,
