This week's movie feature is the A24 film, Heretic, starring Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, and Chloe East. You can also hear about the first two episodes of the Peacock show, Teacup, which stars Scott Speedman and Yvonne Strahovski. It's based off the novel Stinger by Robert R. McCammon, but it seems pretty different from the book...so far. You can also hear about Superman & Lois and the big brawl between Clark and Lex Luthor, along with the penultimate episode of The Penguin and the latest comic books. 00:00:00 - 00:16:31 Intro & News 00:16:31 - 00:42:11 Comics 00:42:11 - 01:20:18 Superman & Lois E406 01:20:18 - 0148:56: The Penguin E107 01:48:56 - 02:23:46 Teacup E101-102 02:23:46 - 02:36:13 Heretic 02:36:13 - 02:40:26 Outro You can support the show at Patreon.com/GManFromHeck (and get access to the weekly bonus podcast) or at ko-fi.com/GManFromHeck.
Review of the mystery box horror thriller show Teacup created by Ian McCulloch and inspired by the novel Stinger by Robert R. McCammon. Something to watch as recommended by Stephen King for lovers of Lost and From "It's strange, creepy, claustrophobic, and scary. Beware the Gas Mask Man...." Read The Review on Becoming The Muse
A magic girl (barely), a sociopath boy who thinks he's a knight, a strong guy who got fired from wrestling, and a bad guy with a mouth where his ear should be but only sometimes, I know this sounds made up . . . and it is, it's all made up in this book. Also there's an apocalypse, but that was probably obvious.*JOIN OUR PATREON for bonus episodes and exclusive clips of Kellen's stand up!https://www.patreon.com/TheBookPile*If you want to read/listen to Swan Song and support the podcast in a fun way, click here to buy the book!

⚡️ A horror podcast that feels like hanging around with friends! A few quotes from listeners:
MJ Preston knows the importance of returning to unfinished work. After sitting with a manuscript for over two decades, he made the decision to revise and release it as The Equinox in 2011. Little did he know, the novel would reach the quarterfinals of Amazon's Breakthrough Awards and win critical acclaim from various authors, even being compared to the likes of Stephen King. MJ has released ten novels and also pursues art in his free time. His latest publication, Four is available below. From Amazon.com: To my neighbors, I am a quiet and assuming guy who works blue-collar. What they don't know is that I also write dark speculative fiction. My work has been printed all over the world. I have four novels on the market and a fifth and sixth in production. My short fiction is available with numerous pubs, including magazines and anthologies. I have my own writing style but would say I was influenced by authors like Robert R. McCammon, Joe R. Lansdale, and John Sandford. Whether you're traditionally published or indie, writing a good book is only the first step in becoming a successful author. The days of just turning a manuscript into your editor and walking away are gone. If you want to succeed in today's publishing world, you need to understand every aspect of the business - editing, formatting, marketing, contracts. It all starts with a good book, then the real work begins. Join international bestselling author J.D. Barker and indie powerhouses, J. Thorn and Zach Bohannon, as they gain unique insight and valuable advice from the most prolific and accomplished authors in the business. In this episode, you'll discover: The power of word-of-mouth Why the scariest monsters are real ones How to write yourself into your story How to write with a day job How music inspires writing Links: J.

De nuevo me acerco a uno de los autores tratados en mi libro para hablar de una de las pocas novelas inéditas en nuestro país del hijo predilecto de Alabama, Robert R. McCammon. En Stinger tenemos todos los elementos de una monster movie de ciencia ficción pasados por el filtro de la crisis económica de un pueblo pequeño del sur y sus habitantes, que durante 24 horas es el lugar en dónde dos extraterrestres libran una guerra que puede decidir el destino de nuestro planeta.
