Blood Capsules: The Book

I said I had a mega announcement, and well, I'd say this counts as "mega."  For years, people have told me that I should release a book of some sort.  I thought about it, and I have enough material for a compendium.  The idea is to take all of my Blood Capsules, print them onto adorable pages (inked in blood, natch), and maybe write a few new reviews that are exclusive to the book.  Does that sound like a plan?  I know that horror film review collections are a dime a dozen, but that's partly why I want in on the action.  Everyone else is getting published.  I figure, why not me?

Ideally, I would release this thing tomorrow, but good God, that's not feasible.  If I want to do it right, it's going to take time.  Early projections?  The first quarter of 2025, at the very latest.  Hopefully, you can hold a copy in your hands to read by Halloween 2024.  We'll see.  Obviously, I'll keep you - my dear readership - in the loop as this project progresses.

So what does this mean for the website?  The book is going to drain quite a bit of my spare time.  Sure, most of it is already written, but I have to toss it into a manuscript and make sure it's all presentable.  Here's my new rule...until the book is released, the only movie reviews that I'll be writing will be Blood Capsules.  Plus, there's the fact that some of those reviews will be bypassing the Internet and going straight to the book.  I will still update the site, however.  You can expect to read my usual dissertations on metal and pro-wrestling.  If anything, I'll try to bump up the metal/wrestling content to compensate for the lack of film content.

Bare with me!  Patreon support will be critical in the coming months.  I want to figure out a way to link the book to my Patreon, but...um, I haven't decided how to do that yet.  When I know, you'll know.  Thanks for the continued support that does exist, and of course, thanks for reading.  This should prove to be a most interesting year!
