It's another berk based on a videogame

This time it's Ghost watchers getting a fake release. I was going for an old-school horror cover design for this one.

I really should write this would-be book. Naturally, a penguin would know that you CAN’T TRUST PIGEONS.

Edgar and Ellen

Has anyone read these books or watched the show? I know it never hit popularity exactly, but I thought it was at least in the genZ collective subconscious...

I month after turning 34 last year, and it had to take me that long to have a passionate Spidey phase. I didn’t want to post anything until I returned home today.

30 gifts for 30 days of November - Day 22!

Here is the twenty second of thirty Better Than a Poke in the Eye recommended gifts for the book lover in your life even if that book lover is YOU!

Today's recommendation is Aberystwyth Mon Amour by Malcolm Pryce

Malcolm Pryce is the king of humorous crime noir novels and his setting of Aberystwyth is just perfect for the private investigator Louis Knight to be working in.

Aberystwyth Mon Amour is the first of the Louie Knight Mystery books which spawned a full series of 6 books, a radio play and a walking tour of Aberystwyth. 

These books are spoof crime noir at its very best, Rachel loves these books and having spent time in Aber, she recognizes some of the locations within the stories. 

Book Synopsis

Schoolboys are disappearing all over Aberystwyth and nobody knows why. Louie Knight, the town's private investigator, soon realises that it is going to take more than a double ripple from Sospan, the philosopher cum ice-cream seller, to help find out what is happening to these boys and whether or not Lovespoon, the Welsh teacher, Grand Wizard of the Druids and controller of the town, is more than just a sinister bully. And just who was Gwenno Guevara?

When your mind wonders and you come up with weird things, like a children’s book about horrific life sucking space vampires. Ladybird books are small educational books for children. They covered a wide variety of subjects from nursery rhymes to history and people and places. They were designed to help children with reading and writing. I’m sure little Peter or little Jane would love to learn all about the Wraith!!!

my s/i meets matt between before the silencers (while matt on leave from ICE) and they probably have some loose friends-with-benefits type of deal throughout that movie and it's probably months to a year between that and the events of murderer's row, so they'd surely have romantic feelings by then

BUT it would be painfully delicious if they hadn't admitted their feelings yet

so they're a bit conflicted by his "death"

but it's all a-cracking when it turns out he's NOT dead

that exchange could be funny because my s/i is PISSED and matt is trying to fathom why (i mean? they just fuck sometimes?) but they are so overjoyed at the same time so they're kissing him like no tomorrow while angrily going "i can't believe you scared me! how dare you! you jerk!"

#i'd like my s/i to be an active character in the silencers and the wrecking crew #since they can't be for murderer's row (they think matt's dead) and the ambushers (sheila thinks matt is her husband. long story) #there was supposed to be a fifth movie called the ravagers #which i could come up with myself #with some inspo from the blurbs of the books #anyway. #i'm deranged about this set of spy spoofs from the late 60s #m.h. #typewriter dings
